Our custom, as far as the type of coffee is concerned, varies its mode of consumption as the day progresses. In the mornings the preference is for a coffee with milk, at midday we usually opt for a cortado and as the afternoon progresses we usually resort to cappuccinos, lattes, etc.

The main consequence of the consumption of coffee and herbal teas on the teeth is at an esthetic level. Regular and excessive consumption of these beverages directly affects the enamel. The positive side is that it is easy to eliminate these stains on the teeth by means of a correct professional oral hygiene and visiting your trusted dentist periodically in order to maintain your oral health in a preventive way.

Brush teeth on the outside, from one end to the other.
Do not forget to brush the inside of your teeth in the opposite direction.
Brush the chewing surface of the molars.
Brushing the tongue.
Clean between the teeth using dental floss.
Rinse with a mouthwash.
It is convenient to brush the teeth after the main meals with a soft-bristled toothbrush of an adequate size. In addition, it is also advisable to use dental floss to keep the spaces between the teeth clean, where food debris often remains and cannot be properly cleaned with a toothbrush.
