Drinking tea is good for health and anti-aging, and it has health benefits. However, if you regularly drink strong tea and do not take care of your teeth, your teeth can easily become yellow.
Long-term consumption of strong tea: the polyphenol oxides in tea attach to the surface of the teeth. If you don't brush your teeth, it will indeed gradually turn your teeth yellow, just like tea cups and teapots that are not cleaned regularly accumulate a layer of "tea scale."
At the same time, if you drink tea that is too concentrated, you may consume too much fluoride, exceeding the body's physiological needs. This can cause fluorosis, making teeth turn black and develop cavities. So, while drinking tea is good, you also need to pay attention to your teeth.
Rinse your mouth promptly after drinking tea
