Introduction
Veneers are thin pieces of dental porcelain that are bonded to the front surface of teeth. Veneers can be used to improve the appearance of crooked teeth, or they can be used to cover large stains on teeth. There are many reasons why veneers might stain, including dark colored foods such as coffee, tea and red wine (which may also cause staining) as well as certain medications like antibiotics.
1. Eat your food slowly.
When you eat, do so slowly. This will help in preventing staining of your veneers as well as other oral health problems like cavities and gum disease. Chew your food thoroughly and don’t talk with food in your mouth, because this can cause you to swallow pieces of food that could get stuck between the teeth or on the veneer surface. Avoid eating on the run and try not to snack while watching TV or working at a desk; all these habits result in poor chewing habits which lead to bad oral hygiene!
2. Don’t eat foods that can stain.
- Avoid foods that can stain.
- Coffee, cola and tea.
- Red wine and berries (e.g., strawberries).
- Grapes, raisins and currants (e.g., currants).
- Chocolate (especially dark chocolate).
It’s best to avoid these altogether if you want your veneers to look their best for as long as possible!
3. Clean your teeth after eating.
To help prevent staining, you should clean your teeth after eating. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to brush your teeth at least twice a day. Don’t forget to floss!
4. Use a stain-removing toothpaste.
Toothpastes with stain-removing properties are available at most drug stores. If you have a favorite brand of toothpaste and it does not contain fluoride, you can ask your dentist if he or she would be willing to prescribe a different kind for you. If your teeth are stained from drinking coffee or tea regularly, there are several brands of toothpaste that claim to help remove these types of stains.
Another way to prevent veneers from staining is by brushing immediately after eating or drinking anything that could cause staining. A soft-bristled brush will allow you better access between the teeth where food particles may get trapped if they aren’t brushed away immediately after eating or drinking something like coffee or tea.
5. Brush twice a day with a fluoridated toothpaste.
Brushing twice a day with a fluoridated toothpaste is an essential part of your daily oral hygiene routine. Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay by strengthening the enamel and preventing bacteria from adhering to the teeth, which can lead to cavities.
Fluoride is a mineral that is found in water, food and supplements. It has been shown to be effective in treating some forms of dental disease, including mild to moderate forms of osteoporosis (a condition where bones become brittle).
You can prevent staining by taking care of your teeth properly
- Brushing your teeth twice a day is the best way to prevent staining. It’s important to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, which can help protect your enamel and strengthen your natural teeth.
- Flossing daily will also help keep stains at bay by removing food particles that have become stuck in between your teeth or around their edges (especially if you tend to drink coffee or tea).
- Healthy foods can help reduce plaque buildup on the surface of your gums–which could lead to yellowing veneers–by providing nutrients that promote healthy cells within the mouth cavity itself; these include dark leafy greens like kale or spinach; blueberries; carrots

FAQ’s
Q: I just got my veneers and I can’t stop worrying about them staining. What can I do to prevent this? A: There are a few things you can do to prevent your veneers from staining. First, make sure that you’re brushing your teeth twice a day with an antibacterial toothpaste. This will help to keep bacteria from building up on your teeth, which can cause staining. Second, try not to drink red wine or coffee while wearing your veneers; these beverages have been known to stain people’s teeth even when they aren’t wearing porcelain veneers. Finally, try not to chew gum while wearing your veneers; gums tend to leave residue on teeth which could stain them as well.
If you’ve ever had veneers put on, you may have noticed that they quickly become stained. This is a common problem, and it can be frustrating to deal with. But don’t worry! There are things you can do to prevent staining and keep your smile bright and healthy. Here are some tips: 1) Brush your teeth after every meal. This will help remove food particles from between your teeth before they can stain your veneers. 2) Use a toothpaste designed for people with sensitive teeth. If you struggle with tooth sensitivity, using a toothpaste with fluoride can make it worse—so look for one that’s specially formulated for people with sensitive teeth instead! 3) Avoid red wine (or any other dark-colored beverages), coffee, tea (except green tea), black licorice, and berries like raspberries and strawberries. These foods are notorious for staining teeth—and unfortunately, if you eat them regularly or drink them frequently, your veneers might get stained too!
