Simple Preventative Tips:

If you're an avid coffee drinker, consider adding milk to your drink. The milk will offset the dark
color, and help fight against staining. It sort of works as a shield.

If milk isn't an option, consider using a straw when consuming dark beverages.

Natural or homemade toothpaste and mouthwash are much friendlier to your mouth than those packed with chemicals.

Lastly, be sure to do the things that cause teeth staining in moderation.
