To be clear, there\u2019s nothing wrong with having red wine for the holidays. This drink is a great and flavorful way to celebrate the winter season, especially among friends and family. You\u2019ll just want to be careful of discolored smiles; red wine can often cause tooth stains<\/a>. With that said, your Ormond Beach dentist knows a few tricks for preventing this issue. Just keep reading to learn how to avoid wine-stained-teeth over the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Yes, Red Wine Can Stain Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As much as you may wish otherwise, red wine tends to stain teeth. It has colored compounds that can discolor your enamel over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red wine has three qualities that contribute to tooth stains. First among these are tannins, biomolecules known to bind dye to your teeth. Next are anthocyanins \u2013 unique grape pigments that give red wine its famously dark color. The last (but certainly not least) quality is red wine\u2019s high acidity, which makes your enamel porous enough for stains to stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any one of the elements above could cause stained smiles. When combined in red wine, however, they make tooth stains almost certain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ways to Avoid Wine-Stained Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully enough, it\u2019s possible to have red wine without getting tooth stains. You just need to take one (or more) of the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brush Before Drinking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before you do any drinking, please brush and floss first. Doing so removes plaque from your smile that\u2019d otherwise attract red wine\u2019s staining compounds. At the same time, such brushing and flossing would reduce your risk of wine-induced tooth decay and gum disease. (Don\u2019t try to brush right after drinking, though; that act would spread wine residue across your smile.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pair Your Wine with Cheese<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rather than have it alone, pair your red wine with some good cheese. The latter has calcium that can close the tiny micro-pores on your smile\u2019s surface. As such, the cheese you eat would help prevent stains from forming on your teeth. (That the dairy product\u2019s flavor blends well with wine is a nice bonus.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rinse Your Mouth with Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve finished your wine, you should rinse your mouth with water. Good old H2O would remove the lingering stain compounds on your teeth, making discoloration much less likely. The water would also rehydrate your mouth, given how alcohol tends to dry out your tongue. (If you want, you could also try sipping water alongside your wine; this approach also works.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one wants to have wine-stained teeth over the holidays. Given that fact, remember to use the tricks above!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
