Coffee stains the teeth. But such stains can be polished off. The sweeteners that many people use in their coffee are far more dangerous for the teeth, as they feed the bacteria that create cavity-causing acids in the mouth. Caffeine interferes with natural saliva production, which can cause dry mouth and also lead to tooth decay.
