It\u2019s good for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fisherdds.com\/veneers.html\">porcelain veneers<\/a>, too \u2013 unless you\u2019re using certain types of toothpaste. True, porcelain is well-known for being a durable material, but even it has its weaknesses. If you want your dental cosmetics to last as long as possible, it\u2019s important to choose the right toothpaste!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you know what to look for? Keep reading; this is everything you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do I Need to Brush My Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since porcelain veneers are made out of, well, porcelain, you might be wondering why you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fisherdds.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">brush<\/a> them at all. Don\u2019t only enamel-shielded teeth get cavities?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cavities do prefer organic teeth, but bacteria build up can also lead to gum disease. If this dental condition goes untreated, it will weaken your gums, loosening your teeth until they quite possibly fall out \u2013 along with your veneers. Plus, regular brushing will help keep your porcelain veneers shiny and pearly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toothpaste Textures to Avoid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, veneers aren\u2019t completely invincible. When it comes to toothpaste, certain ingredients and textures will prematurely wear them down. Here are some tough customers to avoid:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u201cWhitening\u201d products<\/strong> that you can get over-the-counter often contain abrasive peroxides. They\u2019re not designed with most dental cosmetics in mind.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baking soda<\/strong> is gritty, making it not suitable for being brushed back and forth over porcelain veneers. If you see a baking soda oral hygiene method on social media, look the other way!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Activated charcoal <\/strong>has also gained some traction in social media. It\u2019s rough, grainy, and ultimately not FDA or ADA (American Dental Association) approved, so it\u2019s best to stay away from this ingredient too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These three materials aren\u2019t great for your natural enamel, either \u2013 and if it can damage one of the toughest substances in the human body, it can probably harm your veneers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs and Labels to Look For<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few keywords that can indicate you\u2019re on the right track in selecting a good toothpaste, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u201cSensitivity\u201d or \u201cgentle cleaning\u201d<\/strong> toothpastes are usually made with softer ingredients \u2013 unless they\u2019re combined with whitening agents!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The ADA seal<\/strong> of approval isn\u2019t given out to just any \u2018ol products. Bottles with this stamp are surefire winners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gel toothpastes<\/strong> are designed to have a smoother texture than traditional pastes, so they\u2019re worth checking out as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing a veneer-friendly toothpaste can be difficult, not to mention overwhelming. When you feel overloaded with options and confusing jargon, ask your dentist what they would recommend. They are the professionals after all, and will be able to point you towards a product you can trust!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fisherdds.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. David M.
