Teeth whitening: What can't you eat?

After teeth whitening, it is important to avoid foods and drinks that can discolor your teeth. Here is a list of things you should avoid to maintain the results of your teeth whitening.

1. Dark drinks

Avoid coffee, tea, red wine and cola. These drinks contain strong pigments that can quickly discolor newly bleached teeth.

2. Brightly colored foods

Foods such as berries, beets, and soy sauce have strong colors and should be avoided immediately after teeth whitening.

3. Acidic foods and drinks

Citrus fruits and other acidic foods can increase tooth porosity and make teeth more susceptible to discoloration. Wait a few days after treatment before eating such foods.

Conclusion

To keep your teeth whiter longer, follow a "white diet" after teeth whitening: Eat light foods like chicken, rice, and dairy products, and drink clear or light-colored liquids.
