Lebensmittel, die nach dem Bleichen der Zähne vermieden werden sollten

Teeth whitening is essentially a cosmetic procedure for the teeth. Public figures such as celebrities, models, and influencers are particularly enthusiastic about teeth whitening, as bright, white teeth make them look more radiant on stage and in front of the camera. While teeth whitening is becoming increasingly common today, it is important to remember that the cleanliness and whiteness of teeth are a person’s calling card. Teeth are also fragile and require careful care after whitening to maintain their brightness and whiteness for longer.

A useful tip is to avoid consuming or coming into contact with anything that could stain a white shirt, especially within the first 24–48 hours after teeth whitening. Doctors will inform you that the enamel is most vulnerable immediately after the procedure. Therefore, if you consume foods or beverages containing pigments, these can easily penetrate the enamel, leading to poor whitening results and affecting the overall effect.

After teeth whitening, to prevent re-staining or damage, avoid the following foods for a certain period of time:

1. Dunkelfarbige Lebensmittel und Getränke

• Dark-colored beverages: coffee, tea, red wine, cola, and dark-colored juices such as mango juice, watermelon juice, blueberry juice, and mulberry juice, etc.
• Sauces and dark-colored seasonings: soy sauce, tomato sauce, black vinegar, curry, and barbecue sauce.
• Dark-colored fruits and vegetables: berries such as blueberries, strawberries, beetroot, and other dark-colored produce such as purple cabbage and onions.
• Other dark-colored foods: dark chocolate.

2. Saure Speisen und Getränke

Acidic foods can erode enamel, increasing the risk of tooth sensitivity. Doctors recommend limiting intake in the short term.

• Acidic beverages: apple cider vinegar, soda water, juices (such as orange juice and grapefruit juice), and alcoholic beverages like cocktails.
• Acidic foods: pickles, citrus fruits (lemons, limes, oranges), and other acidic foods.

3. Zuckerhaltige Lebensmittel

Sugary foods can cause cavities and tooth sensitivity, which is particularly important after teeth whitening.

• This includes candy, cakes, and other sugary snacks.

4. Lebensmittel, die Farbstoffe enthalten

Foods containing dyes, especially those with vibrant colors, can also leave stains.

• Examples include most candies and cereals.

5. Harte oder klebrige Speisen

Nuts, hard candies, gum, and other foods may scratch the whitened tooth surface or adhere pigments, thereby affecting the whitening effect, so it is recommended to avoid consuming them for a short period of time.

6. Tabak

Regardless of gender, smoking is one of the main causes of tooth discoloration. The tar produced by burning tobacco adheres to the tooth surface, gradually darkening the tooth color, turning it yellow or black. After whitening, smoking should be strictly avoided!

Tipps zur Aufrechterhaltung der Ergebnisse

• Adhere to a “white diet” of light-colored foods (such as white meat and fish).
• Rinse your mouth with water after consuming dark-colored foods or beverages.
• Use a straw for dark-colored liquids.
• Brush your teeth regularly to help remove food particles and stains.
