Eating with Composite Veneers

Composite veneers are very common for smile improvement because of their reasonable costs and high efficiency. However, lifestyle choices such as what they eat affect their ability to retain their looks and their durability. We also want to talk about the foods that are good for veneer durability and some suggestions about how to eat composite veneers properly. Here at RamaCare, we offer specialized best Composite Veneers Dubai with state of the art technology and expert medical team. 

Recommended Foods for Veneer Longevity

Soft Foods

Soft foods should be taken because they do not put much pressure on the composite veneers so they do not chip or crack easily. These consist of boiled vegetables, pasta with sauce, lightly fried eggs, and such soft fruits as bananas and small berries. These foods do not put much stress and pressure on the veneers so that they can remain and look attractive.

Non-Staining Foods

To maintain the whiteness of the veneers made of composite material, exclude foods and liquids with dyeable stains. It is therefore advisable to avoid foods that may stain the carpet, so the patient can be encouraged to take apples, cauliflower, chicken, fish, and rice. Moreover, when people take water in between meals, it helps in rinsing the mouth and thus there will be little chance of the food particles staining the teeth.

Nutritious Foods

A well-balanced diet coupled with good dental hygiene is its biggest asset, which influences the durability of the composite veneers. Consume foods such as lean meat and poultry, breads and cereals, dark green and leafy vegetables, and dairy. Consumption of calcium, which is present in milk, cheese, yogurt, and many other food products, is beneficial to the teeth.

Tips for Eating with Composite Veneers

Cutting Food into Smaller Pieces

It helps to minimize chewing force on the food so that it would not damage the veneer and should always cut your food into small pieces. This procedure is even more crucial for hard foods such as fruits and vegetables because they allow stress to build up on the veneers.

Chewing with Back Teeth

Another recommended step to ensure the safety of the composite veneers is making a practice of chewing with your back teeth. The back teeth are more suitable to apply when crushing foods and therefore there is a low chance of risking the veneers on the front teeth. This habit assists in putting pressure on the molars equally as dubbed by the saliva.

Rinsing and Brushing After Meals

It is also ideal for patients to practice good oral hygiene when caring for their smiles after they have their composite veneers done on them. It is advised to clean your mouth with water after having a meal to prevent direct contact with other foods. Daily brush the teeth with a non–abrasive dentifrice at least twice/ day and floss the teeth to rid them of debris that causes gum diseases.

Managing Discomfort and Sensitivity

Understanding Normal Sensitivity

Most patients may still have some degree of tooth sensitivity once they have opted for composite veneers especially while taking hot or cold foods. This sensitivity usually reduces with time; this is because the immune system targets a variety of cells within the body. If sensitivity continues or is quite profound, it is advisable to seek a professional opinion from the dentist lest than have a deeper root cause of it.

Using Desensitizing Products

If sensitivity persists, then the use of desensitizing toothpaste or other products prescribed by the dentist should be used. As much as possible, one should also reduce intake of scorching hot or cold foods and beverages to reduce sensitivity, which is crucial for veneers.
