Today's rules

With care

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.

With care

Hot and cold

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

Not today

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.
