Everyday Mistakes That Are Yellowing Your Teeth

Drinking coffee

“Sipping two or three coffees every day allows the enamel of your teeth to be in constant contact with a staining agent,” dentist Katia Friedman, DDS, of the Friedman Dental Group says.

It’s not the quantity that’s a concern, it’s the sipping that can be especially damaging, she adds.
