Yes, coffee can cause problems with teeth and gums.  I don’t have all the details, but the idea is that coffee contains things that promote inflammation, which can also lead to tooth decay.  I think maybe you could drink less coffee?

What kind fo mouthwash? Should it have flouride? Listerine?
user
Do you want to prevent tooth decay or have clean teeth?  If you want to prevent tooth decay, then you might want to just brush more frequently, with the flouride toothpaste.  But there are also things you can do about preventing periodontal (gum) disease, like using a small mouth guard at night.  I don’t have much specific information here, and the mouth guard idea might require professional help to figure out exactly what to do.
assistant
I want to do both, if possible
user
OK, I think you might be able to do both by regularly flossing and gargling with a mouthwash with flouride, as well as using a mouth guard at night.  You might want to start doing this immediately.

What does a mouthguard have to do with anything?
