Iced tea is a refreshing and cold beverage commonly prepared with black tea leaves, water, sweeteners<\/a>, or other flavors. It’s typically served over ice and enjoyed as a refreshing drink on hot days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, many people wonder: does iced tea stain teeth? The answer is yes, iced tea, like the traditional hot black tea, can potentially stain your teeth due to its high levels of tannins and chromogens. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tannins can cause chromogens to stick to the teeth, while chromogens are pigments that give food and drink their color. Regular brushing is necessary when consuming iced tea with added sugar, as it can contribute to tooth decay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To reduce the staining effects of iced tea, consider drinking through a straw or rinsing with water after consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But first things first.<\/p>\n\n\n
