Hello and thank you for your great question. You can eat anything you like, including food you listed in the question. Exceptions would be anything containjng coloring in it. I would also stay away from hot and cold drinks and food for 24-48 hours in case the teeth are sensetive.Good luck!

Here are the list of food items that you can eat and drink after having teeth whitening treatment.
1) You can drink sparkling water, soda water, white lemonade, skimmed milk, and coconut water.2) You can eat white low fat yogurt, bananas, peeled potatoes, skinless chicken, white rice, white pasta, white cheese, egg whites, white onions etc.
Things to avoid.
1) Avoid any dark staining drinks like Tea, Coffee, Red Wine, coloured soft or alcoholic drinks and fruit juice.2) Avoid all dark staining foods like bolognese, soy sauce, red meat, chocolate and all fruit except bananas.3) No Smoking.4) Avoid colored toothpaste or mouthwash for 24 hours after the treatment.

Hello!  Yes!  Those are great items to eat.  You're on the right path by avoiding foods with bright pigments.  Neutral colored and pH foods and beverages are best for you to achieve optimum results.  Stray from red sauces, mustards, red wines, etc.  The whitening can make the teeth a porous and therefore can hold stain easier.   Tea is another culprit!  Be careful while you are bleaching and a few days after and you will be fine.  Good Luck!  I wish you the best and brightest.  Smiles, Dr. Shelton

It is great you are so diligently following the after care instructions. Providing the food only has a pale colour, it is safe to eat after whitening. The reason why strong coloured foods are best avoided for 1-2 weeks post whitening is because the procedure makes the teeth more porous and so they can pick up staining from food more easily.

Hi, well really what we need to avoid is food colorants, it doesn't matter if healthy or not. for example we need to avoid all carbonated drinks except the ones that are transparent. avoid coffee and tea and red sauces in food, wine, chocolate, jams.
I always recommend this kind of foods: rice, salads (with no tomato or beads), white meat (like chicken or turkey), bread, cereals (oatmeal, cream of wheat). and remember this is only for a few days, its not permanent. hope this helps. good luck.
