If so, congratulations! You probably have a lot of questions about how they may impact your life. One of the most common concerns about veneers is whether or not they will affect what you can eat. &nbsp;In order to extend the lifespan of your veneers, you <em>should<\/em> make a few adjustments to your lifestyle. Here\u2019s how veneers might change your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What You Can Eat with Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because veneers are stain-resistant and quite durable, you can eat anything your heart desires! That being said, it\u2019s still a good idea to stick to the following to keep them in pristine condition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bananas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chicken<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mashed potatoes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pasta<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soft bread (or bread without crust)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soft canned food<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>White fish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There is still a wide variety of delicious and nutritious foods you can eat with veneers that both protect your smile and satisfy your cravings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What You Should Avoid Eating with Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although they resist staining well and are strong, your permanent veneers aren\u2019t indestructible. As such, you should make small adjustments to your diet and avoid (or at the very least consume in moderation) the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Acidic food or drinks <\/strong>\u2013 Citrus juices, soft drinks, and tomatoes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dark liquids<\/strong> \u2013 Red wine, coffee, and tea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extremely hard or crunchy foods <\/strong>\u2013 Popcorn kernels, nuts, seeds, and chips<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Staining foods<\/strong> \u2013Berries, curry, and jams<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sticky or chewy foods<\/strong> \u2013 Taffy, sticky candies, and steak<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, these are only recommendations. If you choose to indulge, there are still measures you can take to reduce damage to your veneers. After eating or drinking something acidic or staining, rinse your mouth with water and maintain a good oral hygiene routine. For tough meats or crunchy fruits and vegetables, try cutting them into smaller, bite-sized pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veneers are designed to be long-lasting and resistant to a lot of breakage and staining, but sometimes the unexpected happens. It\u2019s best to take precautions to make the most of your investment.<s><\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statecollegedentalhealth.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Kevin P.
