White Tea

While green and black varieties offer antioxidant powers, they may still lead to stains. White tea is a better option for the teeth and your body. While it is derived from the same plant as green tea, it goes through minimal processing and is less likely to stain.

Milk

Milk is a great drink for oral health for many reasons. It is full of calcium, which the teeth need to remain strong. It is light in color and not acidic, so on its own, it won't lead to stains.
