Coffee, Red Wine and Ciggies: How Everyday Habits Stain Your Smile - and What You Can Do

coffee stain in teethStart the day with coffee, wind down with red wine, and occasionally reach for a smoke? You’re not alone.

These habits are part of daily life for many in Frankston, but they also leave behind something most of us don’t notice until it’s too late: stains on your teeth.

Your morning flat white or after-work glass of Shiraz could dim your smile without you realising it. Over time, those subtle changes become more noticeable, and before long, your teeth may look duller or yellower than you’d like.

Where Do the Stains Come From?

Tooth enamel is strong but porous. Pigments from food and drink, especially dark liquids like coffee, tea, cola, and wine, cling to the enamel and seep in over time. Smoking or vaping? The tar and nicotine don’t just affect your lungs; they create yellow or brown stains that are hard to shift with regular brushing.

Even healthy foods like berries or beetroot can contribute to discolouration when consumed often. And if your brushing habits aren’t perfect, those pigments stick around longer.

The Real-Life Impact of a Dull Smile

Feeling self-conscious about your teeth can sneak up on you. Maybe you smile less in photos, cover your mouth when laughing, or hesitate to speak up in meetings. These little hesitations add up and can take a toll on your confidence.

The good news? There’s a solution that doesn’t involve giving up your favourite drinks or quitting social habits cold turkey.
