Ceylon tea, like all teas, has the potential to stain your teeth if you drink too much of it or if you don’t properly rinse your mouth after drinking it. Tannins, which are pigment molecules found in tea, notably Ceylon tea, can adhere to the surface of your teeth and stain them.
The staining effect of tea can be intensified by the presence of other staining substances, such as tobacco or certain medications. However, the staining effect of tea can be minimized by rinsing your mouth with water after drinking tea and by practicing good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing regularly.
It is also a good idea to limit your intake of highly pigmented foods and beverages, including tea, if you are concerned about staining. If you are experiencing significant staining of your teeth despite good oral hygiene, it is a good idea to speak with your healthcare provider or a dental professional for further advice.
