I started drinking a lot of black tea. Is there something I can do to keep my teeth from getting stained?!

Answers:
Use a straw, and suck it straight down, don't let it swirl around your teeth. Use a whitening toothpaste, like one made with baking soda and/or peroxide. Brush at least twice a day, more often if possible. Use a soft-bristled brush and brush gently, don't scrub away your enamel! Flossing will help keep the tea stains from settling in between your teeth. If your teeth are still not white enough, use some Whitestrips, or some other type of bleaching agent. If nothing works, schedule a visit with your dentist. A professional cleaning will help, and he or she can discuss all your options with you. Good luck!
