Smile makeover, teeth whitening info

I did a bit of Googling to find out what are the foods that stain our teeth. I am a coffee addict and realised that it is one of the thing that caused my teeth to stain. So, what are the foods to avoid if we do not want stained and yellowish teeth but sparkling white teeth?

1) Coffee

2) Tea, those black/dark colour types

3) Red Wine - Sipping red wine is a good way to socialise but if you have your teeth treated for teeth whitening or you just did some laser teeth whitening, this is one drink to avoid.

4) Cola - Say goodbye to the Coca Cola, Pepsi and any dark coloured soda

5) Cranberry juice or any deep coloured juices - The dentist recommends fresh, crispy apple to give your teeth a good polish

6) Avoid those ice lollies with colours

7) Soy sauce and any dark coloured gravy, forget the sushi for a while

Balsamic vinegar in your salad may stain your teeth too

9) Ketchup and tomato sauce

10) Blueberries and other dark coloured berries

11) Beets - This is the nastiest vege which stains everything it touches

12) Curry - Think tumeric, it stains your fingers, it stains your teeth.

Hope these list is helpful to those who is undergoing treatment for teeth whitening. Even if you are using those Crest whitestrips or those celebrity teeth whitener, remember to avoid the list of foods because your teeth are extra sensitive and will absorb the colour much easier than usual.
