which make worse yellow teeth? coffee or ovatine?

i have habit of come home and drink hot coffee while sitting in front of computer screen playing mmorpg every night for 4 years now. now i realize that my teeth is so yellow.

i am thinking to switch to ovatine since i just want any hot beverage while sit comfortably on computer playing mmorpg or watch movie on the screen. i was thinking of hot tea but in the past everytime i drink..... i have trouble taking a sheet. like it made hard to come out. eww disgust myself. ok lets skip that part.

so hot coffee with half and half or hot ovatine with half and half/milk? which make our teeth more yellow?

Ovaltine is pure sugar making it hard to recommend. You're right, though, the coffee stains your teeth. So will dark teas. I was going to suggest white tea but if that gives you stomach problems, maybe not.

I'll just say this: drinking water is best for you and you will notice your teeth get whiter over time.

i see. do you think switching from hot coffee with half and half to hot ovatine with half and half/milk makes any difference?

Anything dark is going to stain your teeth. This include sodas that are dark.
Since I quit dranking sweet tea and dont like un-sweet tea, plus quit dranking coke and pepsi. I have noticed my teeth are much brighter now.
If I do have a soda, its a diet 7up and I limit myself to just one of those a week on overage.

Like I said ovaltine has too much sugar. Even if it didn't darken your teeth as much, the extra sugar you're adding to your diet isn't worth the trade. Is there a sugar-free ovaltine?

If you're really just going for a hot beverage, green tea or white teas (as opposed to black teas) would be good to drink. They won't stain your teeth. The other option is terrible - it may not stain your teeth, but it will increase your risk of diabetes.

Since this is the Health and Fitness forum, I'd recommend skipping the coffee/roundtine and gaming session every night and workout instead. Your body (and teeth) will be better off.

yeah i was thinking to workout too to balance the hot beverage routine out.

i must have hot beverage while on the computer screen. not just gaming.... surf cnn and bbc ect... i cant just read. i need to sip on something while surfing news. it makes comfortable.

so hot tea is less worse than hot coffee and hot ovatine? i might give hot tea another chance and see if it make trouble to go to bathroom. i never heard of white tea untill now. i will look up white tea.
