How can I get caffeine in a drink without staining my teeth?

There are a few ways to get caffeine in a drink without staining your teeth:

* Drink clear caffeinated beverages like black coffee, green tea, or flavored seltzer.

* Use a filtered straw; it helps cut down on staining particles

* Add milk or cream to your coffee or tea; it will lighten the color and reduce the risk of staining.

* Rinse your mouth with water after drinking coffee, tea, or red wine and brush you teeth twice everyday for at least two minutes; it will help remove any lingering pigments that could cause stains;

* Avoid sipping your drink throughout the day. Prolonged exposure to the pigments in coffee, tea, and wine gives them more time to set.

* Talk to your dentist about teeth-whitening options; professional treatments or products can help remove existing stains.
