A friend of mine bleaches her teeth and always drinks from a straw because she believes it will prevent staining on her teeth from drinks like coffee, soda, tea, etc.
Do you think she is right? I think it may prevent stains if you don’t swish the drink around in your mouth, but its hard to prevent your teeth from touching whatever you are drinking.

It may prevent stains on your teeth but it causes wrinkles around your mouth much like anyone who smokes. I rather bleach the teeth then deal with the wrinkles.

Yes, drink from a straw to avoid more staining. Especially if you are whitening your teeth right now.

yep it does. It doesn't touch the front of your teeth that people see, so it keeps teeth from staining

Makes sense to me.
