Did you know? The main culprits behind tooth staining 😬 are anthocyanins, which give dark red pigments to red wines 🍷, and tannins, which help them adhere to teeth. Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for a strong and healthy enamel (wine acid can degrade it), which will minimize the likelihood of tooth staining. However, when you taste 92 Malbecs in one evening, it’s hard to do anything about it…
A dentist 👨🏻🔧 would advise brushing our teeth 30 minutes before drinking, but we all know that goes against having a good tasting experience. So another thing we can do is eat while we drink. Proteins 🥩 can create a blocking barrier and help prevent excessive staining 😉
