One thought on “Can the foods you eat make a difference?”

You already know that red wine and black coffee can reverse the effects of your newly brightened teeth. But other lesser-known foods can also affect your smile, including chocolate, blackberries, diet soda, white wine (it’s acidic, which can erode tooth enamel), dried fruit, and super-starchy foods like mashed potatoes and potato chips (they can get trapped in the teeth). There’s no one-size-fits-all answer for how often a fewone can whiten their teeth. At-home products which include whitening kits can usually be used daily until you achieve your desired shade, says Dr. Wright. After that, once- or twice-monthly use will help you maintain your results. It largely depends on the type of whitening product you choose (more on that later).
