We're often asked if chicory stains teeth? So we've done our research and come up with the answer!

Why is chicory good for your teeth?

The culprits: tannins and pigments

Tea and coffee contain substances called tannins, which are responsible for their characteristic taste as well as their coloring power. These tannins, combined with natural pigments (chromogens), attach themselves to tooth enamel, particularly if it's weakened or porous. Over time, these residues accumulate, resulting in stubborn stains that resist your toothbrush.

Chicory: a tannin-free alternative

Good news: chicory is naturally tannin-free! When roasted, it develops warm, coffee-like aromas, without the drawbacks associated with these pigments. You can enjoy a tasty beverage, rich in character, without worrying about tarnishing your dazzling smile.

Chicory and inulin: a bonus for your oral hygiene

Did you know that chicory contains a natural prebiotic, inulin? This complex sugar, which cannot be assimilated by oral bacteria, contributes to a healthier oral environment. Unlike simple sugars, which feed the bacteria responsible for plaque and cavities, inulin does not encourage their development. A double victory for your teeth!

A gentler routine for your enamel

In addition to not staining, chicory is also less acidic than coffee. Acidity can weaken enamel and make your teeth more vulnerable to staining and sensitivity. With chicory, you reduce this exposure to acidity, while enjoying a warm, comforting beverage.
