Can egg yolk stain teeth?

Question

I'm getting braces soon and I have decided to cut out a lot of things that could stain my teeth out of my diet but I just can't find an online resource that tells me if the yolk of eggs can stain teeth or not.

Egg yolks are not known to stain teeth. You should be fine eating eggs. when you have braces, oral hygiene is extremely important, so make sure you are brushing and flossing regularly, and using a water flosser. This will also help you with potential staining.
