Drinking red wine over a period of months and years can lead to staining of the teeth. Such staining can be removed through professional teeth cleaning and whitening by a dentist.


Key takeaways:


- Chromogens in red wine stick to the teeth and produce pigments which cause staining.
- Tannic acid in wine works alongside chromogens to stain teeth a darker color.
- Drinking water or eating food with red wine can help reduce the staining effects on your teeth.


"Since these stains are extrinsic, meaning they’re affected by outside sources, they can usually be removed with regular professional teeth cleaning and whitening as necessary."
