They have helped you get the pearly whites you love, but they aren\u2019t meant to last forever. You\u2019ll eventually need to replace them, but they may fall off beforehand. It\u2019s a rare chance, but it often happens when they are nearing the end of their lifespan or for another reason. Regardless, you may be a bit worried about this scenario, so here\u2019s what you should do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should I Do If My Veneer Falls Off?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you should do is take a deep breath. It&#8217;s normal and understandable to get worked up about things regarding your teeth, but this situation isn&#8217;t a serious dental emergency. However, that doesn&#8217;t mean your dentist won&#8217;t see you right away. Visiting them as soon as possible can help reduce your risk of any dental problems. If your veneer fell out, you should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Find the shell and rinse it<\/strong> to remove any debris on it. Store it in a clean container to bring to your dental office.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Call your provider and explain the situation<\/strong>. Try your best to get scheduled right away.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use sugar-free gum or dental wax<\/strong> to protect your exposed tooth and lessen any discomfort you may feel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re likely to experience some sensitivity, so you should adjust your meals if you need to eat before your appointment. Avoid hot, cold, acidic, and overly sweet options to prevent it and have other choices instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Will My Dentist Fix My Fallen Veneer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it&#8217;s time for your dental appointment, it&#8217;ll likely begin with an oral examination. It&#8217;s important to ensure that your tooth is still safe; if not, then placing a veneer over it can cause problems in the future. If the shell that fell out is still in great condition, then it can simply be reattached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is a minor chip, then your dentist may be able to repair it with composite resin. However, this generally isn\u2019t recommended. Although it will be fixed, it\u2019s often not as durable as a brand-new veneer. Opting for the latter can help you avoid needing to come back sooner than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, your provider is here to help you out during this situation. Once they get a good idea of your unique case, they\u2019ll come up with the right option for you and help you get back to showing off a confident grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fisherdds.com\/meet-dr-fisher.html\">Dr. David M.
