Tea stained teeth

Does anybody else suffer with badly stained front teeth? I have only noticed this during the last 6 months. I love my tea but now I'm paranoid especially after a recent visit to the hygienist. I don't know if its something to do with ataxia, because my partner drinks more tea than me and has no problem. I have always used a cup with a lid and a drinking hole, like a Costa coffee cup. I wondered if it might be that, so I now use a straw. Any advice or similar problems?

I certainly do have stained teeth but hadn't considered it an ataxia problem. I thought it was just loss of enamel but interesting.

🙂My husband had veneers added..and now has a ‘Hollywood Smile’…

Certain foods and drinks are usually the culprits for stained teeth…another cause is thinning enamel…your dentist should be able to tell you if this is the cause.

🤔Sometimes using toothpaste containing baking soda can be helpful.
