3 Tips to Look After Your Veneers
Are you considering Dental Veneer Treatment? More people are opting for Veneers to enhance and transform their smiles. To get the most out of your Dental Veneers, it’s important to look after them properly. In this article, we will cover the top 3 Dentist-approved tips on how to care for Porcelain Veneers.
Tip 1 – Properly Clean Your Veneers
Cleaning your Veneers is similar to a regular Oral health routine. Simply use a soft toothbrush to thoroughly clean the teeth and gently floss twice per day. You can also add a fluoride rinse and fluoride toothpaste or gel to your cleaning regimen. An Electric Toothbrush may be a better option than a manual toothbrush as it helps to avoid brushing too hard, which can damage the gum around your Veneers.
Tip 2 – Eat the Right Food
What can’t you eat with Veneers? The good news is, you can mostly consume regular foods with Veneers. However, our Dentists recommend avoiding biting into hard objects, chewing your fingernails and crunching on ice cubes as it may damage your Veneers. As always, we recommend maintaining a tooth-friendly diet by consuming healthy foods and avoiding excessive sugar, caffeine and alcohol. During your Trial Smile, you should avoid biting into hard food as it may damage your Temporary Veneers.
Tip 3 – Visit the Dentist for regular appointments
Your Dentist will provide you with an aftercare plan, which will involve routine Dental Check Up and Clean appointments once every six months. These appointments are vital to ensure the longevity of your Dental Veneer Treatment by removing plaque and tartar and monitoring your overall Oral Health. Your Dentist will also be able to monitor the condition of your Veneers.
Benefits of Dental Veneers
There are many different benefits to receiving Dental Veneer Treatment if you are a suitable candidate. You can achieve your dream smile without having to go through lengthy orthodontic treatment or invasive Dental surgery.
