Whether you want something to pair with dinner, or need to unwind during vacation, red wine pairs perfectly with the holiday season. However, it can just as easily discolor your teeth. Fortunately, there are some preventive measures you can take to protect your teeth from that deep red color. Here are a few ways to prevent<\/a> red wine stains on your teeth during the holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why Red Wine Stains Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wine leaves stains because of its dark red pigmentation, but that isn\u2019t the end of the story. There are also compounds in wine called tannins that allow the colors in wine to set into teeth much more easily. It\u2019s also acidic, which erodes your enamel as you drink. This allows the pigments to penetrate deeper into the tooth than they could otherwise. The combination of color, acidity, and the presence of tannins make red wine especially likely to alter the color of your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
