The American Academy of Cosmetic
Dentistry (AACD) suggests brushing and flossing just as you would your regular teeth.
Proper daily tooth brushing and use of non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste is
ideal. Consider limiting coffee and other stain-inducing foods.
Keep in mind that veneers will need
to be replaced at some point; no matter how well you take care of them. But proper
oral hygiene will help porcelain veneers last as long as possible.
If you're deciding on veneers,
consult with your Glendora dentist
and be sure you understand every part of the process and cost. A beautiful
smile feels great and can increase both your confidence and well-being.
These are some of the things you can
do to take care of your porcelain veneers:
·
Avoid chewing on hard foods or non-food items
Biting
hard candies, chewing ice
Chewing
on pens, biting nails, opening packages with teeth can cause chipping and
cracking of the porcelain veneers.
·
Regular dental checkups are important. Porcelain
veneers can collect plaque and tartar buildup the same way natural teeth do,
which is why it is important to keep up with your dental hygiene. Brush your
teeth twice per day, floss daily, and keep your dental cleanings to at least
every 6 months.
·
Teeth grinding can cause chipping and
damages to porcelain veneers. Talk to
your dentist, as you may need to wear a protective occlusal or bite guard to
protect both your natural teeth and teeth with porcelain veneers.
