So this old saying about nature\u2019s \u201cwarning label\u201d might not stand up so well under scrutiny, but if you\u2019ve just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hermendental.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">whitened your teeth<\/a> professionally, a bright berry will probably still get your heart racing! Strong colors can <em>dis<\/em>color your teeth on a normal day, and for the first couple of days after whitening, they\u2019re actually even more vulnerable to food-born pigments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d rather avoid having to visit your dentist for a second treatment so soon after the first, keep reading so you know what to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acidic Fruits and Beverages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One rule-of-thumb that does hold up is that anything acidic will wear down your enamel if you enjoy it too frequently. Tomatoes, oranges, limes, coffee, and soda are just a few such things that could weaken your tooth\u2019s outermost layer. As it softens, stains will have a much easier time clinging to your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dark Drinks and Sauces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of richly hued substances like pomegranates, blackberries, curries, and soy sauces. They\u2019ll leave a colorful residue on your countertops, and your teeth aren\u2019t safe either. If you\u2019ve ever wondered why foods like these create stains so easily, here\u2019s the answer: they\u2019re usually packed with tannins \u2013 a chemical compound that enhances color pigments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dyes and Food Coloring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people love a good red velvet cake. Right after your whitening treatment, though, you\u2019ll have to resist it. Culinary dyes have to be strong in order to affect foods (such as red velvet cake) and smoothies, so you can expect these ingredients to make your teeth not-so-pearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safe Food Choices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you put all of that together, what\u2019s left for you to eat? Mostly bland-looking foods like rice, yogurt, vanilla ice cream, sushi, bread, and bananas. It\u2019s a good thing color doesn\u2019t necessarily indicate how tasty something will be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of it this way: a strategic sushi bowl can be quite filling, bananas can pair well with all kinds of treats, and it\u2019s hard not to like a quality pint of vanilla ice cream. Your diet options might be limited for a few days after your teeth whitening, but there are still plenty of safe snacks you can enjoy. Plus, at the end of the tunnel you\u2019ll have a bright, white smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hermendental.com\/meet-your-dentist.html\">Dr. Jeffrey F.
