But what if there were certain foods you could eat that would help your teeth stay brighter longer? Keep reading to discover the kinds of snacks and meals that can help sustain your newer, more vibrant smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Foods Are Known to Keep Teeth Sparkling White?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After having your teeth whitened, the pores in the enamel remain open for at least 24 hours. It is during this crucial time that you avoid any foods or beverages that might otherwise penetrate this outer layer and cause stains to form once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, after this initial timeframe, you\u2019ll want to make sure that you incorporate certain foods and drinks into your diet so that your teeth reap their benefits. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Sparkling water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>White wine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Potatoes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yogurt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bananas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Egg whites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chicken<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>White fish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strawberries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apples<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carrots<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Celery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cheese<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of these items contain enzymes that are known to whiten teeth (i.e., strawberries). While some can be more acidic than others (i.e., white wine) \u2013 a factor you\u2019ll want to be mindful of, as it concerns the wearing of tooth enamel \u2013 you can feel less anxious about your teeth becoming stained or discolored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Foods Should Be Avoided All the Time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from just avoiding these foods in the first 24 hours, you\u2019ll also want to limit your exposure to them if you want your pearly whites to shine brighter over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to limit and\/or avoid:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Coffee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Red wine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soft drinks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fruit juice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soy sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tomato sauce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also want to rethink your lifestyle habits, especially those that are known to cause tooth staining (i.e., smoking).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you think about the foods you plan to eat each day, remember how helpful or harmful they can be to your smile. Choosing the right meals and snacks will leave you feeling more confident about your teeth and the way they look for weeks, months, and even years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Grand Dental \u2013 Naperville<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Grand Dental \u2013 Naperville, cosmetic dentistry is one of the most popular types of treatment we offer.
