Porcelain veneers are a non-invasive approach to correcting cosmetic dental issues quickly and painlessly. Most patients are astounded by the difference their new smile makes in their life. But veneers must be cared for properly, so here are some important Do's and Don'ts to ensure a beautiful smile for years to come:
- Brush regularly with a soft bristled tooth brush
- Use a non-abrasive tooth paste recommended by either Dr. Jamie Sands or Dr. Jason Sands
- Floss after eating to avoid tooth decay
- Do not chew on hard items, such as pencils and ice cubes, that can cause a tooth to crack or chip
- Do not grind your teeth; consider a mouth guard if this is a subconscious issue
- If redness or irritation persists beyond a reasonable time frame, contact our office
- If sensitivity to hot and cold foods and beverages continues to be a problem, let us know
- Be sure to schedule regular checkups to ensure the beauty and function of your veneers
Take care of your porcelain veneers and you’re sure to enjoy a beautiful, functional smile for years to come.
