Whether it’s a date or a catch-up with friends at your favorite café, time flies over one—or several—cups of coffee. But if your teeth start showing the marks of your coffee break, don’t worry: there are simple ways to prevent yellowing and enjoy your espresso without compromising your bright smile.
