## Guides
- [Chromogens and Tannins](https://red-wine-teeth-stains.fagyny.workers.dev/chromogens-tannins/): Chromogens tannins is shorthand for two things in red wine that work as a pair: chromogens are the strongly colored compounds, and tannins help them stick to.
- [Water With Wine: The Basics](https://red-wine-teeth-stains.fagyny.workers.dev/drink-water-with-wine/): If you want a simple habit to start with, drink water with wine: it keeps your mouth moist, rinses some pigment and acid off the teeth, and slows the pace of.
- [White Wine and Staining](https://red-wine-teeth-stains.fagyny.workers.dev/white-wine-staining/): White wine staining is real even though the glass looks clear: white wine is typically acidic and can leave teeth more receptive to color from whatever you eat.
- [Brushing Before Wine](https://red-wine-teeth-stains.fagyny.workers.dev/brush-before-drinking-wine/): Brushing earlier in the evening can remove surface film so there is less for wine pigment to cling to, which is why people ask whether to brush before drinking.
- [Cheese With Wine](https://red-wine-teeth-stains.fagyny.workers.dev/cheese-with-wine-teeth/): Cheese with wine teeth is a popular pairing question, and the honest answer is that cheese may help a little by stimulating saliva and adding some buffering.
