Yes, you can drink tea, coffee or anything else you like whilst whitening with Enlighten without having to change your lifestyle. With other teeth whitening methods, coloured foods and drinks are discouraged. Not the case with Enlighten's revolutionary Evo4 system.

Can I eat coloured foods like curry, blackberries, tomato sauce whilst whitening?

Yes, with Enlighten you can absolutely continue eating all your favourite foods without worrying that you will ruin your results.

Why did my dentist tell me to stay away from coloured foods and drinks?

There is still some confusion around this as with most other whitening methods (including some other professional whitening brands), a white diet is advised as they do not offer a deep bleaching process. A deep bleaching system is one that whitens the tooth from inside out, lighting up internal stains that have accumulated over the years as well as lifting off those external stains. Enlighten is a deep bleaching system, therefore there is no need to eliminate any foods or drinks from your diet.
