Is it true that chocolate stains my teeth?
If so, what's the best natural way to remove tooth stains?
Anonymous Patient
To a degree this is true, but the frequency and amount of chocolate ingestion will determine the degree of staining. There are several other foods that stain teeth, i.e. red wine, spaghetti sauce, coffee, tea, etc. also stain teeth extrinsically. Teeth also darken with aging. Dental prophylaxis (cleanings) will remove stain. Normal thorough tooth brushing should remove some stain on a daily basis.
