For avoiding stains, Diana Perez-Caballero, Lead Dental Hygienist with SOMI Dental Group, advises to her patients to avoid smoking and eating some foods that have certain types of pigments that are going to stain their teeth.
Coffee, tea and red wine also can stain teeth, she says.
The expert doesn’t recommend using any oil pulling or turmeric to clean stains. She advises, for an extra pearly white of teeth, doing a whitening treatment, in a controlled environment.
