Is coffee without cream worse for your teeth than coffee that has coffee added to it?

Question

I mean is coffee better on your teeth if milk or half and half is added to it? I kind of prefer coffee without cream, but I wonder if is better for my teeth to add cream.

Answer 1

It's the acid in the milk..... but coffee already has a lot of acid in it.  Coffee is not good for your teeth at all.   It is good for your breath because lots of people like "coffee breath" on someone else.

Adding sugar is the worst for your teeth altho most people only add 1 teaspoon.

Answer 2

Only in that you are adding a small amount of dairy to your coffee.    If you drank the milk separately it would have the same effect.

Answer 3

The cream would have some calcium (unless it's non-dairy creamer) that's good for you, but it would add some calories.  The creamer WILL dilute the coffee, though, so it may not stain your teeth as quickly as black coffee......get a whitening toothpaste, or one that contains baking soda
