Dark berries contain natural pigments that can temporarily stain the tongue, dental plaque and surface deposits. They are also a valuable part of a balanced diet, so there is no need to avoid them solely because of concerns about tooth colour.
What should you do after eating berries?
- Rinse your mouth with water.
- Do not hold a smoothie in your mouth for a long time.
- Wait before brushing if the meal or drink was acidic.
- Clean between your teeth regularly.
Visible dark staining can look more intense when plaque or tartar is present. Professional dental cleaning can remove hardened deposits that toothpaste cannot remove.

FAQ
Do smoothies stain teeth more?
Longer contact and frequent sipping can increase exposure to pigments and acids.
Does V34 remove berry pigments?
No. V34 optically corrects yellow tones; it does not remove surface deposits.
