6 Tips: How to Prevent Coffee and Tea from Staining Your Teeth

Enjoy your daily brew without sacrificing your smile

If your mornings (and afternoons… and evenings...) revolve around a cup of coffee or tea, you’re not alone — and we’re not judging. But over time, those beloved sips can lead to stained teeth, leaving your smile looking a little less bright as time goes on.

The good news? You don’t have to give up your Beast Tumbler or your daily brew to keep your teeth sparkling. Here are six simple, practical tips to help you enjoy your favorite drinks while keeping those pearly whites glimmering.

1. Use a Straw (Yes, Even for Hot Drinks)

Sipping through a straw helps bypass your front teeth, which are most prone to staining. Our Beast Tumblers come with reusable stainless steel straws — so you can protect your teeth and the planet at the same time.

2. Rinse Your Mouth with Water After Drinking

One of the easiest things you can do? Just swish with water after finishing your drink. It helps wash away the tannins and pigments before they settle in. Bonus points if that water’s from your Stainless Steel Water Bottle.

3. Wait 30 Minutes Before Brushing

Brushing immediately after coffee or tea might seem like a good idea — but acidic drinks can temporarily soften enamel. Brushing too soon can actually cause more damage. Wait 30 minutes, then brush gently.

4. Opt for Lighter Brews When You Can

The darker the coffee or tea, the more likely it is to stain. Swapping espresso for a lighter roast, or black tea for green or white tea, can reduce the risk. Your enamel will thank you (and you might just find a new favorite blend).

5. Keep Up with Regular Brushing & Flossing

No surprise here — good oral hygiene is key. Brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and floss daily to remove plaque, which makes staining worse. Simple, but effective.

6. Eat More Crunchy Fruits and Veggies

Raw apples, carrots, and celery aren’t just good for your health — they act like natural toothbrushes. Their texture helps scrub away surface stains while increasing saliva flow, which naturally protects your enamel.
