Caring For Your Veneers
|
• | Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: We recommend caring for your veneers through daily brushing and flossing, just as you would your natural teeth. |
• | Be Aware of Bruxism: Grinding, gnashing and clenching your teeth can cause damage to all of your teeth, including your veneers. If you’re aware of the symptoms of bruxism, seek protection through a nightguard or mouthguard. |
• | Be Cautious How You Use Them: Your teeth are tools for chewing, not for opening packages, to chew on pen caps, or to bite off fingernails. People who use their teeth inappropriately are subjecting them, and their veneers, to the possibility of breakage. |
• | Avoid Staining: Your dental veneers are subject to staining in much the same way your enamel is. Tobacco products and dark-colored foods and drinks could cause staining. |
• | Wear Mouthguards: If you are aware of an activity that could cause damage to your teeth, wear a mouthguard. Sports, outdoor activities, bruxism and more can increase your chances of damage. That is why it is crucial to protect your teeth with a nightguard, sportsguard or mouthguard. |
• | Use the Right Dental Tools: Be aware of what you're putting in your mouth. Picking at your teeth with toothpicks, straws, and more can cause your veneers to fracture or come loose. |
• | Be Aware of the Foods you Chew: You may need to make some dietary changes, crunchy or sticky foods could be problematic, use caution. |
