Veneers in Cancún · Day 3 of 7
Day 3 after veneers in Cancún
A good day for a big outing. The only thing to plan around is food: skip hard, sticky and very crunchy snacks.
Today's rules
Biting and food texture
Do not bite straight into hard or crunchy food such as apples, carrots, hard bread or tough meat. Cut it up and chew with your back teeth.

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.

Sun, sea and swimming
No restriction. People can return to normal activities the same day.

Flying home
No restriction from veneers. Fly once the final fitting and bite check are done.

Confirm with your surgeon. These are general activity limits from published aftercare guidance. Your clinic's written instructions always come first, and they may be stricter or looser for your procedure.
