Question by Alice: Is this is good plan for tea drinking and teeth health? I'm a really bad water drinker, so, I drink my water with those flavor packets made for water bottles. The problem is, the only flavor I like is "Peach Tea". My mother commented it was affecting my teeth, but I thought if I just continued brushing twice a day and whitened them with store bought whitening strips once every 3 months, they'd stay white. Good plan? Will it work? Will is kill my teeth? Best answer:

Your mom is right. In most cases, yellow teeth are caused by food, drinks, or tobacco staining the surface enamel of the tooth. Smokers almost always have yellow stained teeth, as well as people who drink large amounts of coffee. Soda and tea are also responsible. Although these are the main culprits, any type of food can stain your teeth if they are not properly brushed. Underneath your tooth enamel is a material called dentin. Dentin is naturally yellow, and as you age your tooth enamel becomes worn down, exposing the dentin. This is why some people notice a color change in their teeth as they grow older. Avoiding beverages that might stain your teeth is your best bet, but if you must have your soda, consider drinking it out of a straw and chasing it with a glass of water.
