We know that each shot of caffeine is crucial and we cherish our coffee, too! Here at Carolina Complete Dental, we want to educate you on what causes coffee stains and what you can do to fight them.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret how\u00a0Goose Creek residents feel about their coffee, and we\u2019re not about to get in the way of that love. However, we will help you keep your smile healthy and beautiful<\/a> with tips that won\u2019t drastically affect your lifestyle.\u00a0Dr. Barganier, Dr. Zuffi, Dr. Williams, and Dr. McAdams and the rest of us at\u00a0Carolina Complete Dental are your oral health allies!<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s start off with the basics. What makes coffee stain your teeth?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Coffee is the one of the biggest offenders when it comes to stained teeth in Goose Creek, and the discoloration can be so bad it mimics cigarette stains. So what\u2019s the secret? What can you do to keep your teeth shiny, but still get your caffeine fix?<\/p>\n

Coffee and its Active Ingredient: Caffeine<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is best for your oral health and health of your entire body to keep your coffee consumption to a safe limit. An excess of caffeine, regardless of the source, spells negative effects for your heart and stomach and can lead to serious health problems over time. That being said, we won\u2019t tell you to do anything crazy, like quit drinking coffee.<\/p>\n

Guard Your Teeth against Coffee Stains with These Three Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) The simplest and best way to guard your teeth is to rinse with water right after you are done with your coffee.<\/strong> Not only is water the best thing to nourish your body, it will also wash away the caustic chemicals, and the sooner you drink it, the better.<\/p>\n

2) Here\u2019s another great tip that probably never crossed your mind – drink your coffee as quickly as possible.<\/strong> The less time your teeth have to soak in coffee\u2019s tannins, the less damage your enamel will suffer.<\/p>\n

3) Whiten Your Teeth. Do your teeth currently have stains due to coffee or other offenders? If they do, one of many different types of teeth whitening<\/a> treatments may be a possibility. As always, it is best to consult\u00a0Dr. Barganier, Dr. Zuffi, Dr. Williams, and Dr. McAdams before whitening your teeth and our\u00a0Goose Creek dental professionals will help you design a treatment plan suited to your needs.<\/p>\n

Whitening options come in a variety of forms, whether you choose a professional treatment, or purchase an over-the-counter product (such as strips, gels, or special toothpaste).<\/p>\n

Here in our\u00a0Goose Creek office, it is our mission to do everything in our power to help you keep in all around (not just oral) perfect health. We at\u00a0Carolina Complete Dental are here to help you choose the best option to make stains disappear and keep your teeth safe from harm.<\/p>\n

Should you find yourself with any questions regarding coffee stains, whitening, or anything else, don\u2019t hesitate to schedule an appointment<\/a> with\u00a0Carolina Complete Dental today!<\/p>\n
