A diet change with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomballdentist.com\/veneers.html\">porcelain veneers<\/a> may be necessary to make your smile stay brighter for longer. Read on to learn about what foods you should avoid and what you should eat instead to make your results last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Foods to Eat with Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you get veneers, your dentist will fit you with temporary ones while your permanent restorations are being made. These will be weaker than your final veneers, but they will keep your teeth safe from harm. There are a few recommended foods to eat with temporary veneers to avoid damage or increased sensitivity, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Mashed potatoes<\/li><li>Scrambled eggs<\/li><li>Soft grilled or baked chicken<\/li><li>Canned foods<\/li><li>Bananas<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Foods to Avoid with Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Permanent veneers are highly stain resistant, but they can still become discolored over time. To keep them looking bright and beautiful for as long as possible, here are a few of the foods and drinks you should limit or avoid completely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Dark beverages<\/strong> \u2013 Drinks like coffee, soda, tea, red wine, and highly pigmented juices can easily stain your natural teeth and veneers<\/li><li><strong>Hard, crunchy foods<\/strong> \u2013 Popcorn, nuts, chips, and other hard and crunchy foods can accidentally chip your veneers<\/li><li><strong>Sticky foods<\/strong> \u2013 Caramel, chewing gum, candy, and other sticky foods are hard to remove and can tug on your veneers<\/li><li><strong>Alcohol<\/strong> \u2013 This can slowly weaken the bonding agent that attaches your veneers to your teeth<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helpful Tips to Keep Your Veneers Looking Their Best<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the foods and drinks you consume, there are many other ways to keep your veneers looking their best, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Cut out tobacco products<\/strong> \u2013 If you smoke or use any other tobacco products, cut them out to prevent staining or discoloration of your veneers and natural teeth.<\/li><li><strong>Brush and floss<\/strong> \u2013 Brush twice and floss once per day to keep your veneers looking lovely. Use fluoride toothpaste to prevent cavities from forming, as this can threaten your oral health and the longevity of your restoration. If possible, clean your teeth after each meal or drink water to wash away bacteria and food debris.<\/li><li><strong>Visit the dentist<\/strong> \u2013 Make sure to keep up with your regular six-month dental checkups and cleanings. This will ensure that both your natural teeth and your veneers remain in optimal condition.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It may prove difficult to skip the popcorn, but it\u2019s worth it to make your veneers last as long as possible. With the above tips, you\u2019ll be enjoying a bright, beautiful smile for years to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. James Geer and his team of talented, compassionate, and understanding oral health professionals strive to provide the residents of Tomball with the quality oral health care they deserve.
