How do I keep red wine from staining my teeth?

I'm talking about preventative measures here. Both my BF and I like red wine over white, but it always sticks to our teeth. It's kind of embarrassing in public.|||Yeah, it's pretty icky. It's even worse if you aren't just drinking wine - but tasting it. Then you're swirling all over your mouth and really making a mess of your teeth. I honestly know of no preventative measures. But at least it comes off really easily. Just make a pact with the BF to remind each other how goofy you look so you can dart into the bathroom and rinse :D|||the best way would be to go to the bathroom after you KNOW you're done drinking and give a quick rinse of water; like when you gargle mouthwash.|||In fifty years of drinking red wine, I have never heard of this problem (and I live in a country where red wine is drunk at almost every meal other than breakfast!), but... if you ask for a glass of seltzer (soda water) at the end of your meal, "swish it around", and swallow, it should take care of whatever problem you're having.





As for a preventative measure, I can't imagine anything that you'd want to coat your teeth with before drinking wine (or anything else). Well... and I'm joking here... if you are willing to wait 60 years or so, you could put your teeth in the water glass before drinking, then pop your dentures back in after dinner-- but I wouldn't encourage it in a better class of restaurant!





No-- the seltzer is probably your best bet.|||Stop gargling with it.|||Take them out when you drink red wine.
