The right diet - for white teeth

December 13, 2021

If you're interested in whitening your teeth, you've come to the right place at OnlySmile. Even though our products are manufactured according to German quality standards and work efficiently, there is also a lot you can do to prepare for an application and to whiten your teeth faster.

What can be safely consumed

liquids

You don't have to worry about water, sparkling water or milk in any way. These liquids have no proven staining effect on your teeth and can therefore be consumed in larger quantities. The same goes for different types of alcohol. For example, white wine, champagne or vodka will not stain your teeth. Relaxed evenings with family and friends are still possible. By the way, gin and various mixtures such as Gin & Club Soda or Sprite are no problem either.

Food

There is also a whole range of products among foods that can be consumed carefree. For non-vegetarians, for example, this includes all types of poultry such as chicken or turkey. White fish is also not a problem. Neither are rice, pasta and peeled potatoes. All white cheese, bananas and cauliflower are also non-staining foods.

Whereby one should be careful

It is now well known that tobacco, red wine and coffee stain teeth. However, there are also liquids and foods that are less known to stain teeth. These include, for example, orange juice and other acidic fruit juices, black tea and energy drinks. Dark beer such as Schwarzbier or Bock should also be avoided.

When it comes to foods, the simple rule of thumb is that anything that would stain a white shirt will stain your teeth. So here are carrots, tomatoes and other red-orange fruits and vegetables. Chocolate, especially dark chocolate as well as butter and margarine, also have a negative influence on tooth color.

If you follow this diet before and after every whitening session, you will have whiter teeth faster and get your first results. However, if you don't necessarily want to do without these foods and don't need perfectly white teeth, you can simply rely on the effectiveness of OnlySmile products.
