How Do I Maintain My Veneers
Veneers are an amazing dental technology that can immediately improve the aesthetics of a patient’s teeth. However they do require special care if you want them to last for many years. It is true that veneers cannot get cavities, however veneers are only shells on the front of your tooth. And, the rest of your tooth is fully capable of sustaining decay. Especially after receiving veneers it is important to brush your teeth with toothpaste twice each day, flossing is also very important because gum health is just as important, if not more important for your oral and overall health. Having a gleaming smile will not exempt you from taking care of your teeth. It is important to clean all surfaces of your tooth, and especially the surfaces that remain of your natural teeth. The laminated porcelain shells are very durable, however you do need to exercise caution when eating hard things. Your veneers can and will break under duress, just as natural teeth. No opening nuts, no using your teeth as scissors, and certainly no chewing on ice.
