Over the holidays, you are no stranger to the fact that the colors become quite vibrant and merry in almost all areas of daily life. From wrapping paper and holiday lights to the celebratory foods on the table, you can expect a visual explosion of deep pigments. While this creates a cozy atmosphere, deeply pigmented foods can stain your porcelain veneers. You have two choices: Avoid the foods altogether or rinse (then brush 30 minutes later) after you eat them.
The holidays bring with them some foods you might not usually find within immediate reach. You’ll see bowls full of hard-to-crack nuts, crackers, cookies, candies, and tons of other delightful treats that may prove very hard to chew. Rely on tools like nutcrackers, choose the softer variety of cookies, and when all else fails: Simply avoid something that could crack your porcelain veneers.
Keeping your porcelain veneers safe throughout the holidays relies heavily on your dedication to maintaining your usual care. While you might get up late (and stay up late), you still need to brush when you get up (and before bed) and make sure you floss once every day. Simple!
