Veneers in Antalya · Day 1 of 7
Day 1 after veneers in Antalya
Preparation day. Once the numbness wears off you can do anything you like physically. Eat soft food tonight and go easy on very hot or very cold drinks.
Today's rules
Biting and food texture
Wait until the numbness has gone before eating, then keep to soft food today.

Hot and cold
Teeth are often more sensitive to heat and cold after preparation and fitting. Sip frozen drinks and hot coffee carefully.

Snorkel and mouthpieces
Gripping a snorkel mouthpiece with your front teeth can pop off a temporary veneer. Choose a glass-bottom boat or skip the snorkel until the finals are in.
