I Have Recently Bought A Home Teeth Whitening Kit, And Would Like To Know Which Foods To Avoid?
Q.
Hi,
I have recently bought and had fitted a home teeth whitening kit from my dentist following fixed braces being removed.
I have started a 2 week process but I am really concerned about what I can and cannot eat, I am trying to avoid drinking tea but have been given various different recommendations by friends, etc. Can you please tell me if I should only eat white foods ie, pasta, rice, bread or if I can eat most foods but avoid tea/coffee/curry – can I eat meat or should I just stick to fish or chicken?
A detailed list of what to avoid would be really useful. I am drinking hot water in place of tea and am experiencing a tiny bit of sensitivity, I have only started 1 application of 6% strength so far. Kind regards.

Hi, yes you should avoid food that would stain a white shirt throughout the treatment, but the darker the staining potential the more you should avoid the food or drink. The worst things are tea, coffee, red wine, tomato ketchup, curries.

Hope that helps simplify the ‘list’. Regards Dr Mark Hughes.
