After the 2-nd time( was carried out on the recommendation of the dentist), the teeth brightened for another 4 tones. Everything suited me, but it is very difficult to stick to a white diet and not use coloring products. In fact it would be desirable all tasty.

Not so simple
If you stick only to the diet, then the effect will certainly be, but insignificant. Do not put great hopes on her. To 
to obtain a quality and lasting effect, the diet requires more fruits, especially citrus fruits.
As you know, citric acid helps to get rid of yellow plaque. But lean on the citrus fruit is not worth it! In day you can eat no more than 300 g of fruit. If you ignore the advice, the reverse process will begin - and the enamel will again acquire a darker shade.
With all the recommendations, the beauty of the teeth will be preserved for 2 years. Therefore, you must strictly adhere to the rules, because whitening tooth enamel - a very expensive procedure, and repeat it is not always everyone can afford.
