does decaffeinated coffee stain teeth?

Yes, coffee stains the teeth, all kinds of coffee.  The newer whitening toothpastes are really good in taking care of it, though.

Be very careful with the sort of cleaning you do. Discolouration can be either from external sources, like food or drink, or from excess brushing, or brushing with some whitening toothpastes. These can be quite abrasive, and added to frequency or pressure applied by a toothbrush, can wear the white enamel from your teeth and show the yellow dentine underneath, giving the impression of discoloured teeth. It's important to discern the actual cause of your discolouration, before going out to try and remove it.

First of all you would have to find out the cause of the yellowish tint. Often activities such as smoking and coffee drinking leave stains on your teeth that stay there permanently even with brushing. Another cause is a lack of teeth brushing which dentists reccoment at least twice daily or best after every meal or flossing. To solve such a problem, you will have to see a dentist to clean out the stain or plaque, often through scalling. The dentist will use a drill and scrape off the outer plaque layer until the teeth is white again. it is also recommended that this be done every six month when needed as with the normal schedule for a dentist visit yearly.

Yes - it contains caffeine, affects blood pressure, stomach lining, ruins the teeth, and is addictive.

there are traces of caffine in decaf coffee.  If you are not a regular coffee drinker, the decaf can stimulate you.  If you begin the regiment of drinking decaf regularly, then you will have to up grade to caffinated eventually.  I suggest not to drink coffee unless you feel you need it.

All I can tell you is that I drink decaf coffee all day long and have never had a canker sore in my life.

try to cut down on the coke intake-i know this can be hard. caffeine and sugar not only effect teeth but your organs as well.\n\nfor example-caffeine speeds up your heartrate, making your heart pump faster which in turn raises your blood pressure. if you are drinking alot of caffeine throughout the day-your heart is getting more of a workout than it needs.\n\nsugar can also cause unwanted weight gain.\n\nas far as your teeth go..\n-drink your soda through a straw-this will help the liquid bypass getting in between your teeth and breaking down the enamel.\n-make sure to brush a minimum of 3 times a day\n-floss at least once a day\n-rinse your mouth out with water after finishing the soda if you are unable to brush\n-make sure to see the dentist once every 6 months and ask about getting the special sealant put on them to protect them from cavities\n\nwater is the best thing for you but i know most of us out there don't drink as much as we should (me included). and on the occasion-we need that quick "pick me up" that the caffeine in soda provides.\n\nif you can't stop drinking the coke-at least try stepping down to diet. i didn't think i would be able to but that was 2 years ago and i can't stand regular soda now. coke makes their diet with splenda so it doesn't taste too different.

Biologically speaking, caffeine impedes the speed of cell reproduction. So seeing as how thousands and thousands of dead skin cells are shed each day, we replenish our cells constantly. Caffeine also severely dehydrates you.\n\nBut as long as you watch your caffeine intake and hydrate, no problems should be too noticeable.

in addition to the above answers, mouthrinses cause dental discoloration as well

Are you also drinking a lot of dark liquids?  Coffee, tea and dark colored sodas will cause your teeth to darken and counter the effect of the 'whitening' toothpaste.

yes they do and they affect the color of your teeth even if you haven't got veneers. You can chew gum though. Veneers probably will need to be replaced in about 40 years though cause i cant see them lasting longer than that. Just remember not to drink coffee/wine everyday but i dont think once a week will stain them

You shouldn't just QUIT coffee.  You gotta WEANE... gradually drink less and less every day.  You cold turkey it and you'll get headaches.  Give her JUST ONE cup of coffee and she'll feel better.  And remember... Even decaf has SOME caffeine in it.  So for now, one or two cups of decaf will do if you don't have regular around.

Dark pigments in foods, beverages, and cigarette smoke can bind to your enamel, staining the surface of your teeth. If you're concerned, you might try using a straw when you drink dark-colored juice or cola to minimize its contact with your teeth. Tannic acid, the bitter compound in coffee, tea, and wine, can also cause yellow or brown stains when it combines with other particles on your teeth. Dairy products and saliva help neutralize this acid, so add a splash of milk to your coffee and stimulate saliva production by chewing sugarless gum. No matter what you do, though, your teeth will yellow as you age. Deep grayish blue discoloration in the dentin (the material beneath the enamel) is usually hereditary, but teeth may also turn gray if they break or are knocked so hard that the roots die or if they were exposed frequently to the antibiotic tetracycline while they were still developing.

Crest white strips work just as good as professional whitening.  Some people will never have white teeth.  People that have thin enamel, smoke, and even drink soft drinks, coffee, or tea will probably not have extremely white teeth.  Those substances stain teeth fast.  You have to use white strips twice a day for 1 or 2 weeks depending on the strength you buy.  They will get the same effect you just have to wait longer.  I tried it in the Dental program before they were put on the market and they are great!  You will not really be able to see a lot of results but others will notice it a nd you will get a lot of comments.  if you insist on smoking and drinking dark drinks you might consider using a whitening toothpaste so that you dont loose anything that you have gained by the strips.  You can also gargle in peroxide.  The only other thing that I can think of is that your teeth might get sensitive--that is normal and that will go away after you stop using them.  You can use two boxes back to back but if your teeth are not white after that they will never be extremely white and that is just in the make up of your teeth

You have sensitive teeth and the compounds in the beverage activate the pain receptors.  It is has some thing to do with the electrolytes in the brew

If I have strong coffee I have problems with my breath but weak coffee several times a day seems to be okay. The same with mountain dew which has a lot caffeine. I think the effect of caffeine had different effects over different people

I am guessing you have some relation with Starbucks and you are buying a lot of coffee. Otherwise, it isn't worth the trouble for a cup of coffee. But you can get a cup of coffee and drop a chemical that would react with caffeine and turn it into a different color than brown. No caffeine no color change. Also no guarantees you can drink it afterwards though.
