Consuming green vegetables is the best way to stay healthy. Infact green smoothies are lapping up as the latest health trend but it could dull your smile as it stains the teeth. The colour in green foods comes from chromogens, highly pigmented molecules which easily adhere to tooth enamel, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
* To further prevent staining, drink your smoothie through a straw, minimizing contact with teeth. * Don't mix chromogens and tannins, so omit citrus fruit from your smoothie mix. * Brush three times daily as it can help in keeping the shine of teeth intact.
