Your Greenfield dentists offer more efficient and effective whitening and brightening solutions than the over-the-counter methods.

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.
