One way to reduce the possibilities for stains is to use a straw. Using a straw can reduce the amount of stains by not exposing the liquid to front of your teeth.
2. Brush your teeth regularly and after eating foods that stain your teeth. Brushing your teeth twice a day and right after eating these types of foods can reduce the possibility of permanent stains. It also removes bacteria and plaque that can causes stains on teeth.
