Actually, virtually everything we eat stains our teeth. Coffee is one of the biggest culprits. Smoking, too, is a big no no.
Soda does not stain teeth so much as it destroys tooth enamel. The fizz of sodas acts as an acid on your teeth and the longer it is in your mouth the more damage it does. Simply swallowing does not help because even after you swallow small amounts of the soda remain in your mouth and on your teeth and this is when the real damage is done: in the hours the soda residue remains in your mouth.
Imagine the many situations in which you find yourself drinking a soda and it lingers in your mouth for hours: a long car drive, at a sporting event, watching TV, etc.
The single best practical thing you can do to help your teeth is to remove sodas and similarly carbonated drinks from your diet. If you can’t (or won’t) do that, the next best thing is to brush and rinse immediately after consuming such beverages. But who does that? Whether you’re in a bar, at a party, or at home most of us do not brush immediately after eating and drinking.
Failing brushing and rinsing, drink a glass of water after drinking any soda to clear the soda residue from your mouth.

Hmmm.... I had blueberries and coffee with my breakfast, and a glass of red wine last night, yet my teeth are white. Could it be you're "full of shit"? ;D

I wanna whiten my teeth. But i'd rather not use those chemicals.
Anybody got good tips for me? How long/ when to brush?
I've hear brushing immediately after eating isnt good as it can damage your teeth.
OneMoreRep is right about his list. Some people have it faster than others.

That does not give you white teeth, it only prevents the unavoidable discoloration somewhat :o

ba ba booey

people's body chemistry affects the staining of peoples teeth as well.

Smart move. If you chose the "britesmile" ( www.britesmile.com ) threatment or a similar whitening procedure, you might have to do it more than once if you want your teeth to be really white.

Crest White Strips and other OTC products like it have been shown to work very well and a lot less $$$. Personally, I think really white teeth look fake and unatural.
