Teeth whitening is an important part of a good dental and oral health and hygiene routine. To keep out teeth white and at their very brightest we should moderate our intake of certain foods and drinks. We all know that tannin rich teas, coffees and red wines are not our best friends when it comes to maintaining a bright white smile but there are other enemies out there and some of those foods and drinks that can thwart even our most valiant of teeth whitening efforts might very well surprise you so, be on guard, soldier.
The usual suspects
Delicious, dark wines and even their lighter rose relations can be a no no when it comes to keeping teeth white. If you regularly use whitening products to overcome porous or deeply grooved tooth enamel you will know that these drinks, along with coffee and teas can have an instantly devastating effect on tooth whiteness and are best avoided on an evening out if you want to dazzle onlookers with your brilliant white teeth.
As far as food stuffs go, spinach is best avoided on a night out as it too, can have the instant staining effects of tannin laden beverages. It also has a nasty habit of getting stuck between the teeth and that is never a good look. Teeth whitening experts will also encourage you to resist chocolate as that too, especially its darkest varieties contains tannins.
The unusual suspects
You might think that, in terms of maintaining whitening results you may have worked very to attain, that pale foods are your best options. Think again. When it comes to whitening and maintaining a white smile all foods play their part in stain build up and that is why having whitening reinforcements at home is so important. Of course you can take a few trusted foot soldiers with you wherever you go such as a teeth whitening pen and teeth whitening chewing gum.
Foods that are high in carbohydrates are particularly adept at causing stains to build up on teeth. Think of that symbol of tooth health, the apple – full of carbs and full of sugar a double whammy of trouble for your teeth. In fact the one and only substance you can consume that will play no part whatsoever in causing stains on your teeth is pure water – not even tap water or bottle water is good enough.
The plan for white teeth and a bright smile
To keep white and bright you, of course, need to keep your teeth clean. Use a whitening tooth paste to kill two birds with one stone: brighter teeth and excellent oral hygiene. Combined with flossing, a whitening mouth wash and regular trips to your dentist will keep day to day staining of teeth to a minimum. Take the time to research more heavy duty whitening products to remove accumulated stains and to restore teeth whiteness when you have consumed food that is particularly likely to stain teeth. With the right combination of whitening products and a good whitening regime you need never go hungry or thirsty for the sake of a white smile!
