5 Ways to Protect Your Cosmetic Work During the Holidays
If you’ve invested in cosmetic dentistry, you want that beautiful smile to last during holiday treats, busy schedules, and celebratory drinks.
Here at Goehring Dental in Austin, TX, we love helping patients protect their cosmetic dental work so it stays flawless long after the holidays are over. Here are five simple, effective ways to keep your smile looking its best all season long!
1. Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods
Caramels, hard candies, ice, and overly crunchy snacks can crack veneers or chip bonding. If a food feels risky, take smaller bites, or save it for later.
2. Use a Straw for Dark Beverages
Holiday favorites like coffee, red wine, and hot cocoa can stain cosmetic work over time. Using a straw helps minimize contact with your front teeth and keeps stains at bay.
3. Stay Consistent with Flossing
Healthy gums are essential for long-lasting cosmetic results. Daily flossing helps prevent inflammation around veneers and bonding, keeping your smile framed beautifully.
4. Schedule a Whitening Touch-Up
Professional whitening is a great way to refresh your smile after weeks of indulgence. A quick touch-up can restore brightness and keep your results looking fresh and polished.
5. Wear a Nightguard
Holiday stress can increase clenching or grinding, even if you don’t realize it. A custom nightguard protects your veneers, bonding, and enamel while you sleep.
