Coffee helps bacteria in the mouth create acids that are damaging to the teeth, and the rich colour of the drink can also be responsible for discolouring the teeth. Eating food before drinking coffee as well as drinking a glass of water or even brushing or rinsing the mouth afterwards will combat the adverse effects coffee will have on the teeth. A glass of red wine is also a primary culprit in teeth damage and could be stuck on the teeth for hours after it is consumed. A glass of water should always accompany a red wine to avoid stains and damage. A thin layer of petroleum jelly on the teeth will also provide a protective shield, and although it may seem like a weird and gross practice, the results speak for themselves.
