Seeking teeth whitening treatments to address yellow stains? Here’s a little secret that could save you the bill.
Some everyday foods can gently help clean surface stains and keep your teeth looking whiter and brighter, naturally.
9 Foods That Naturally Whiten Your Teeth
Curious to know which ones?
1. Apples
Crunchy, juicy & sweet, Apples don’t just keep the doctor away, they act like a natural scrub, helping reduce surface stains as you chew.
2. Strawberries
Those juicy strawberries we all love? They’re rich in malic acid, which helps break down mild discolouration on teeth.
3. Pineapple
Pineapple on pizza might be controversial, but this fruit contains bromelain, an enzyme that helps fight plaque, making it your teeth’s favourite.
4. Celery
When we say “eat your greens,” know they’re good for your teeth too. Celery is high in fibre and water, boosts saliva flow, and helps wash away stain-causing particles.
5. Carrots
We all know carrots are great for your skin, but raw carrots also gently polish teeth and stimulate saliva, acting like your mouth’s natural cleanser.
6. Cheese
Cheese lovers, listen up-this one’s for you. Rich in calcium, cheese helps neutralise acids and reduces the chances of stains setting in.
7. Yoghurt
Smooth, creamy, and secretly powerful, yoghurt is packed with calcium and probiotics that strengthen enamel and keep your mouth feeling fresh.
8. Almonds
A smart snacking option that does more, chewing Almonds supports cleaner teeth and reduces surface buildup.
9. Cucumbers
Cool, crisp, and refreshing, cucumbers have a high water content that helps rinse away residue and keep teeth clean.
3 Foods You Should Avoid (If You Want Whiter Teeth)
1. Coffee & Tea
It’s hard to stay away from your morning tea or coffee, but their deep pigments cling to enamel, leading to stubborn stains over time.
The PERFORA difference:
Fight stains with Perfora Purple Magic Serum, which neutralises yellow tones, and the Perfora Electric Toothbrush, which helps lift surface stains more effectively than manual brushing.
2. Red Wine
Red wine might be your favourite poison, but it’s bad news for your teeth. Highly acidic and dark in colour, it’s one of the biggest staining culprits.
The PERFORA difference:
Rinse and reset with Perfora Lemon Mint Mouthwash to bad breath, and use Perfora Teeth Whitening Strips to target wine stains & get whiter teeth in just 2 weeks.
3. Sugary Desserts
Sugary desserts are tough to avoid; they’re also our biggest weakness. Sugar feeds bacteria that weaken enamel, making teeth more prone to stains.
The PERFORA difference:
Protect your enamel with Perfora Dream White Toothpaste and clean between teeth using the Perfora Smart Dental Flosser, helping to remove sugar residue before stains can settle in.
