So, let\u2019s say you\u2019ve just wrapped up a teeth whitening<\/a> treatment with your dentist. You\u2019re probably feeling pretty good about it. After all, your pearly whites are finally living up to their name! Even so, you still need to be careful to ensure your whitened smile lasts. If you\u2019re not, something you eat or drink could stain your teeth all over again. That said, your Auburn dentist has a solution. Here\u2019s a summary of why to eat a \u201cwhite diet\u201d after whitening and four foods that whiten teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s This About a \u201cWhite Diet\u201d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, whitening doesn\u2019t just brighten your smile. It also makes your teeth more porous, putting them at risk of stains. In other words, foods and drinks with dark pigments could undo your treatment. With one wrong step, your next meal could discolor your pearly whites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are safe things you could have at this point. In particular, white and light-colored products wouldn\u2019t stain your teeth. Dentists thus suggest you have these \u201cWhite Diet\u201d items for twenty-four hours following treatment. Afterward, your teeth will be less porous and won\u2019t interfere with your usual meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foods You Can Eat After Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cWhite Diet\u201d has a variety of foods you can choose from. Some of them include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fish, Chicken, & Tofu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lean proteins like fish, chicken, and tofu are great for your whole body, not just your teeth. They boost your energy and muscle strength, and their light color won\u2019t leave stains. Still, try not to have these items with vibrant seasonings or sauces; stick to white sauces instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rice, Bread, & Pasta<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Grains usually won\u2019t cause tooth stains. Be on the lookout, though, for bread and pasta that list molasses or food coloring in their ingredients. The latter materials give grains a darker appearance, which can transfer to teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White Cheese & Yogurt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019d be best if you skipped the artificially-colored cheeses and yogurts. Rather, try white cheese and yogurt that shield teeth from acid and contain enamel-building calcium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh Fruits & Vegetables<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Light-colored fruits and vegetables like pears, bananas, apples, cauliflower, potatoes, and mushrooms contain needed vitamins and minerals. Plus, they don\u2019t stain teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you stick to foods like those above, your whitened teeth will last longer. Feel free to talk to your dentist for more suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
