Worried About Stains? Does Drinking Green Tea Stain Your Teeth? Heres What You Need to Know!

Okay, so, I’ve been hearing a lot of chatter online about whether green tea stains your teeth or not. I mean, I’m a huge green tea drinker, it’s my go-to morning beverage, so this got me thinking. I decided I’d do a little experiment on myself, you know, for science!

I started by taking a good look at my teeth in the mirror, checking for any existing stains. They looked pretty normal to me, maybe a little yellowish ’cause, well, I’m human. I figured this was my baseline. Then, I committed to drinking at least two cups of green tea every day for a month. I brewed it myself, nothing fancy, just regular green tea bags from the grocery store. I made sure not to add anything to it, like lemon or sugar. Just pure, unadulterated green tea.

Worried About Stains? Does Drinking Green Tea Stain Your Teeth? Heres What You Need to Know!
  • First week in, didn’t notice anything different. Teeth looked the same, green tea tasted great as usual.
  • By week two, I started to wonder if maybe, just maybe, my teeth were a smidge darker. But, it was hard to tell for sure. Could have been the lighting, right?
  • Week three, I started taking pictures of my teeth every morning, trying to keep the lighting consistent. I’m no photographer, but I did my best. I examined my teeth by my phone every day, It’s not easy to tell the change.
  • Week four, and I definitely noticed that there’s something change about my teeth, compared to those photos I’d been taking, I feel my teeth was a bit darker than before. I mean, it wasn’t super obvious, not like I’d been chugging black coffee or anything, but there was a subtle difference.

After a full month of my green tea experiment, here’s what I concluded: green tea might stain your teeth a little, but it’s really not that bad. I mean, it’s way less noticeable than what I’ve heard about coffee or black tea doing. If you’re a regular green tea drinker like me, I wouldn’t freak out about it. However, I want to try to remove these stains, maybe I can find something useful, I will do that later.

And remember, I’m just a regular guy doing a little home experiment. Everyone’s different, so your mileage may vary. I know it’s not a professional way to do this, but I just want to share my experience with you. It’s all for fun!
