Why Do My Teeth Get Stained when I Drink Red Wine?Blame it on weak enamel |
Why do some people’s teeth stain more easily than others’ when drinking red wine?
Teeth are porous and made up of hollow tubelike structures called dentin tubules. These form the part of the tooth between the enamel (surface) and the pulp (core) of a healthy tooth. Some people develop stronger tooth enamel in their formative years, thanks to genetics and good brushing and flossing. But people with weaker enamel soak up things they eat and drink through their dentin tubules, and the surfaces of their teeth look stained.
Your short Q&A prompted me to look for more on the topic.

Horrible! And if whitening just strips the enamel more, it looks like we might be temporarily stripped of solutions.
Great news! This product - GoSmile - was just featured on Popgadget yesterday, how timely! I have the same problem with drinking red wine, it's gotten to the point where I've avoided red wine completely (in public at least).

I use wine naps. they work great and are specifically for red wine stains on lips and teeth
You've got to try wine wipes. I found them while wine tasting in Napa last month and now I carry them with me everywhere. They work great and they aren't harmful to teeth. I just ordered some for Christmas gifts at www.winewipes.com
