Drinks

Tea and Coffee – Coffee stains are one of the most common stains on found on teeth and can be very difficult to remove. Tea causes teeth to stain much worse than coffee, says Mark S. Wolff, DDS, PhD, professor at the New York University College of Dentistry. Iced tea or brewed tea — it doesn’t matter. Both can stain your teeth.

Juice – You should avoid citrus fruits that can erode your enamel, and expose the underlying dentin that has a yellowish hue.

Orange juice (cordial and fresh), blackcurrant juice, cranberry juice

Grape Juice, tomato Juice or any dark colored juices

Colas and Sports Drinks – contain phosphoric acid. Erosion from phosphoric acid affects the entire tooth, unlike localized erosion that leads to cavities. Coupled with the acid produced from bacteria.

Alcoholic Drinks – Red and white wine can stain your teeth if taken in excess. White wine’s acidic composition etches tiny trench in your teeth making them more porous and easily stained. We advise to avoid other colored alcoholic drinks and fizzy drinks like beer because it has adverse effects (it blocks the teeth’s whitening process)

Acidic beverages modify the pH balance of the mouth which makes your teeth more susceptible to damage when you consume more acidic drinks.

In general when you whiten your teeth stay away from any staining beverages. Stick to clear drinks in the beginning and you should be fine.

Food

Cutting back on foods that are highly pigmented will also help maintain the effects of your tooth whitening procedure. Basically, any types of food that has color would leave stain on your teeth. Avoid foods like with marinades, sauces and gravies. Blueberries, beets, dark chocolate, tomato sauce, balsamic vinegar and spices (i.e. turmeric powder, saffron, curry powder).

Red Meats – including pork, lamb and beef and any other red meat products such as bacon or sausages, tuna, sardines, prawns, crab, crabsticks and colored soups, because they consist food colorings.

Beets – Beets contain more sugar than any other vegetable on the table and we know that beets is dark in color that makes it a culprit of teeth discoloration.

Curry – Curry is spicy and yellow in color, it can penetrate the open pores of your teeth and can stain your teeth.

Fatty Foods – Fatty foods like unskimmed milk, butter, creamy foods and margarines are kind of foods to be avoid for consequent days after the treatment.

Teeth may be vulnerable to cold temperatures nearly up to 36 hours after a whitening session. In order to reduce the pain induced by temperature, it is better to get rid of cold foods like ice water, frozen yogurt, ice cream, and several other cold desserts.
