While there\u2019s nothing wrong with enjoying yourself every once in a while, it\u2019s also a good idea to know what you\u2019re getting yourself into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, it\u2019s common for foods to crop up around Thanksgiving that can discolor your teeth, especially if you aren\u2019t careful.&nbsp; Here are a few examples, and what you can do about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thanksgiving Foods That Can Discolor Your Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people are well aware of the drinks that stain your teeth, like coffee and red wine. However, there are also plenty of foods that can produce this problem. Typically, these are foods that are dark and acidic. These foods can erode the top of the enamel, which allows the darker pigments to penetrate deep into the tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some common examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Cranberry Sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Red Wine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gravy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Berries in Desserts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Balsamic Vinegar Dressing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dark-colored Sodas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dark Chocolate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Protect Teeth From Discoloration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can potentially get away with eating some of these foods if you\u2019re careful. Of course, eating these foods in moderation can prevent some of their negative effects from taking hold, and when you do eat them you may want to follow that up with thorough brushing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Do If Your Teeth Darken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you start to notice that your teeth aren\u2019t the color that you\u2019d like them to be, there are things you can do in order to brighten your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, whitening toothpaste can do a lot to brighten people\u2019s smiles, especially if you make use of them consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want something faster, you may also be interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galleriadentistry.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">teeth whitening<\/a>. Making use of these treatments can give you a smile up to eight shades whiter, which means that you can undo all the damage you did during the Thanksgiving season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Galleria Dentistry, we\u2019re a family practice that likes to share that comfortable, personable atmosphere with our patients.
