🎙️ Whitening Wednesday Episode 80: Acidic Foods After Whitening
📣There’s a big difference between telling patients to avoid acidic foods after whitening vs knowing the actual pH of the gel you’re working with — and most people don’t think about how outdated that “no acids” rule really is. This week’s episode breaks down the origin of the myth, what pH testing shows, and why your supplier’s gel formula is the real answer.
00:00 – Intro: Truth or Trend: Acidic foods after whitening – myth or reality
01:18 – Where the “no acids” rule came from: high peroxide gels in the past
01:32 – What saliva pH normally looks like (6.5–7.3 range)
01:58 – Why modern carbamide blends + beauty gels sit closer to neutral
02:17 – Clinical testing: how saliva studies prove enamel safety
03:14 – Red flag gels: when pH dips below 4 and stays there 🚩
03:50 – Safe zone: gels holding between 6–7.5 (example: Fern Signature Series at 6.7)
04:59 – What actually happens if a client eats an orange after whitening
05:49 – Final truth or trend verdict: Outdated rule = trend 🚫 Knowing your gel’s pH + supplier = truth ✅
06:10 – Final mic-drop: It’s not about banning foods, it’s about knowing your product.
