Proper care and maintenance of dental veneers are essential for ensuring their longevity and preserving their appearance. Here are some tips for taking care of your dental veneers:

Maintain good oral hygiene: Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Floss daily to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth and around the edges of the veneers.

Avoid foods and drinks that can stain: Certain foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries, can stain dental veneers over time. Try to minimize consumption of these items or rinse your mouth with water after consuming them to reduce the risk of staining.

Quit smoking: Smoking not only stains natural teeth but can also discolor dental veneers. If you have veneers, quitting smoking can help maintain their appearance and prevent yellowing or staining.

Use a non-abrasive toothpaste: Avoid using abrasive toothpaste or whitening products that could scratch or damage the surface of the veneers. Choose a non-abrasive toothpaste recommended by your dentist for regular cleaning.

Wear a mouthguard: If you participate in contact sports or activities that could result in dental trauma, wear a mouthguard to protect your veneers from chips or fractures.

Avoid chewing on hard objects: Refrain from biting on hard objects such as ice, pens, or fingernails, as this can damage or dislodge dental veneers. Book your veneer consultation today!
