Is coffee bad for your teeth?

Asking this question is expected from everyone who loves coffee but also cares about their dental health. The fact that drinking coffee is capable of staining your teeth has increased the quest for an answer to this question.

Well, I am glad to inform you that we have been able to reach out to some reputable sources and professional dentists in order to provide you with the right answer through this piece you are reading right now.

You must know that coffee is a substance that more than ninety-five percent of the adult population drink daily and more than ninety percent do so at least twice a day.

This is to tell you that it is one of the most consumed and ingested foods that are not usually lacking in any home.

But does coffee damage teeth? Is tea bad for your teeth? Does coffee stain your teeth? Can it deteriorate them? Do you have other lesser-known conditions?

In this article, you will be able to figure out answers to these questions.

Effects of Coffee on Teeth and Gums
So, let’s see some major effects of coffee on your teeth. Through these effects, you can easily tell if coffee is bad or good for your teeth.

Coffee Does Stain Our Enamel
This drink has the effect of gradually darkening our teeth whiteness and staining our enamel, leaving it darker, less shiny. If we want our teeth to remain white and have a movie smile, we must avoid drinking too much coffee, since the regular ingestion of this drink does cause enamel stains.

However, if coffee is a vital part of your diet, you can also prevent its risks of darkening your teeth by washing them very regularly for at least three times a day with great precision. Use electric toothbrushes and clean your teeth for at least more than 2 minutes.

Coffee Does Not Affect Other Dental Areas or Cause Disease

It has been shown that, beyond darkening the enamel and giving our teeth a very ugly yellow tone, coffee is a harmless drink for our teeth and our mouths.

Coffee only affects the aesthetic part of our teeth, that is, it is not an abrasive or invasive substance so that we can take it without fear of causing dental diseases such as gingivitis, cavities, or halitosis, to name a few of the most important.

Is Coffee Bad for Your Teeth – The Answer
The answer is more of a NO than a YES because the damage of coffee to our teeth is only aesthetic as it involves the teeth whiteness, thereby affecting dental enamel by darkening it.

Although the vulnerability varies according to each individual, as there are people who have very good enamel by inheritance, while others have deficiencies in calcium which does not allow stronger and healthier teeth.

Beyond this, if we are used to cleaning our teeth after drinking coffee, we can reduce the chances that the teeth will stain or stain with its intake.

Thus, we can rinse the mouth after drinking coffee, or dilute a cup of coffee with a little milk, since by becoming less concentrated it will stainless. We can also drink a glass of water after coffee, which is equivalent to rinsing the mouth.

It is clear that the less time we allow the waste to remain in our mouth spinning, the less likely it is that the teeth will stain.

But beyond the aesthetic, which is prevented and solved with good oral hygiene, coffee does not damage teeth.

Of course, let’s not leave aside inheritance and a balanced diet that contributes a lot to having strong and healthy teeth.

Why Coffee May Be Bad For Your Teeth
You may not be cool with the stains
Yes, coffee is one of those drinks that stain your teeth just like red wine. However, to enjoy the pleasure of coffee without ending up with teeth of darker color? Just go to the dentist once or twice a year!
You can also try to reduce the harmful effects of coffee by drinking a glass of water just after you have finished your cup as we’ve mentioned earlier.

The sugar problem
The coffee + sugar combo is particularly harmful. Coffee is already very acidic in itself but, if also, we add the action of sugar … here we obtain a drink conducive to the development of oral problems.

If you have trouble drinking black coffee, then try to use milk: it always makes less sugar and, also, allows you to drink a less staining drink (because it is clearer).

Temperature
This may be a less serious issue but you should not forget that it is also possible to burn your tongue or palate with coffee!

In some cases, they are bad for your teeth. When the temperature of a hot coffee reacts to your teeth, it ends up hurting a little. This may be a problem for you but it gives an unpleasant feeling.

Meanwhile, you should avoid drinking hot coffee when you have just had a wisdom teeth operation!
