Taking Care of Your Dental Veneers
2
Dental veneers are often the go-to solution of
those who wanted to improve their teeths
appearance. They are used to fix broken or
chipped teeth, misaligned teeth and even stained
teeth.

Dental veneers are made from wafer-thin materials
that are placed over and bonded to the outer
lining of the teeth. Most veneers are made from
porcelain because they are more durable and able
to resist staining as compared to composite-resin
materials.

Dental veneers are quite expensive that is why it
is very important to take care of them very well
to get your moneys worth. Here are some tips for
taking care of your dental veneers

1. Observe god oral hygiene. Like your teeth,
your veneers should be cleaned by brushing and
flossing them regularly.
6
Non-abrasive and fluoride-rich toothpaste should
be used in cleaning your veneers. It is also
important to have your teeth and veneers to be
professionally cleaned at least twice a year to
prevent plaque build-up.

2. Although porcelain veneers resist staining,
the cement used in bonding the veneers to your
teeth is easily stained by colored beverages and
foods like coffee and tea. If you cannot avoid
these beverages and foods in your diet, try to
minimize your consumption.

3. Avoid biting and chewing on hard and crunchy
foods and hard things such as pencils and ice.
Although veneers are known to be durable
especially those made from porcelain materials,
they cannot withstand extreme biting and chewing
forces.

4. It is also advised to avoid clenching and
grinding your teeth. For people with bruxism, a
night guard should be used to protect your
veneers from clenching and grinding forces.

5. Avoid extreme temperature changes because they
expand and contract your veneers which can
eventually result to its cracking.http//www.den
