Dentist Vladimir Losev named the foods and habits that lead to yellowing of teeth.

He warned that drinking coffee, drinking sweet soda, drinking chocolate, drinking beets, and smoking are detrimental to the whiteness of teeth.

These products have a negative effect on the color of the enamel if you abuse them, writes NEWS.ru.

The doctor also added that taking antibiotics has a detrimental effect on the color of teeth.

Cocoa butter and carbohydrates in coffee can give a yellow tint to the enamel. Therefore, as Losev noted, it is better to dilute the drink with milk and cream.

Carbonated drinks speed up the process of tooth decay, changing the natural color to acid yellow.

Beets also contain a lot of chromogen, which forms a dark coating on the teeth.

Losev warned that the main enemy of white teeth is chocolate due to its high cocoa content.

After consuming this product, which gives the enamel dark tones, you need to brush your teeth or rinse your mouth with water.

Smoking causes tooth enamel to become unsightly yellow.

Losev warned against excessive enthusiasm for antibiotic treatment, which has a negative effect on enamel and the gastrointestinal tract.
