Taking the Extra Care Need for Veneered Teeth
In prior post we talk about porcelain veneers how they can help improve your smile as well as how your tooth is can still be at risk for dental decay. In order to prevent the risk of serious decay behind porcelain veneers, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene habits. Your dental habits should not change just because you now have porcelain veneers.
Make sure to brush your teeth twice a day, using an appropriate toothpaste recommended for the care of porcelain veneers. It is also important to floss every day to remove plaque from between your teeth. The side angle where the veneer meets the tooth becomes the most vulnerable approach in your teeth. When you visit your dentist, make sure you communicate any changes in sensitivity associated with your veneered teeth. Newly-sensitive teeth may be suffering from decay. With proper cared for veneers your teeth should remain healthy and the veneers on them should last a decade or more.
