A white smile is the equivalent of a more youthful and vibrant appearance. No wonder teeth whitening has become one of the most highly requested cosmetic dental services available. Your Greenfield dentists offer more efficient and effective whitening and brightening solutions than the over-the-counter methods. Our professional in-office and at-home teeth whitening treatments can produce maximum results to refresh and invigorate your gorgeous grin. After you have taken the time to whiten your teeth, you may want to be cautious about what you consume. Here are a few suggestions of foods to stay away from if stains are a concern.
Are You a Sushi Fan?
Soy sauce goes with rice as well as cheese goes with crackers, or ketchup goes with fries. The Japanese identified what has become known as the fifth taste – umami. The salty liquid known as soy sauce might go great as a dipping sauce when eating certain foods, but that dark brown color is not so hot for your teeth. If you simply can’t give up your favorite Japanese condiment, consider swishing water around in your mouth in between each soy sauce drenched sushi roll, so the dark color does not remain in contact with your teeth.
Mama Mia…Be Careful of Tomato Sauce
Tomato sauce offers vitamins and nutrients such as lycopene. Both raw and cooked, tomatoes bring nutrition and zing to many types of cuisines. What would pizza, pasta, and so many Italian delicacies be without a delicious marinara sauce? Unfortunately, tomato-based sauces can stain your teeth at the same time that they expose you to too much acid. The good news is, what goes better with Italian food than a nice green salad, or a side of spinach, or broccoli? These veggies leave a protective film over your teeth that will actually guard you from excess stains. Looks like mama was right when she said you should eat your vegetables.
