It\u2019s not uncommon for people to think that they don\u2019t need to brush and floss their veneers or that it could even damage them, but that isn\u2019t the case at all \u2013 in fact, it\u2019s quite the opposite. Keep reading to find out why keeping your porcelain veneers in Greensboro clean is the first step in maintaining them and get some great tips for how to do that!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Why Is It So Important To Keep Porcelain Veneers Clean?<\/h2>\n<p>Fortunately, porcelain veneers are very durable and also stain-resistant, so they can last (and continue looking great) for 10-15 years. However, veneers are cemented onto the front surfaces of the teeth, so although the veneers themselves can\u2019t get cavities, the natural tooth structure underneath them <em>can.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If a cavity starts and isn\u2019t treated in time, the veneer has to be removed so a dentist can access the tooth underneath and repair the cavity. Then a new veneer will need to be done. Most people would agree that they\u2019d rather not replace their veneers unless it\u2019s absolutely necessary! Fortunately, with a few good oral hygiene habits, you can minimize the chances of that happening.<\/p>\n<h2>How Should You Care For Your Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n<p>Here are several tips to keep your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fisherdds.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\">porcelain veneers<\/a> clean and maximize their lifespan:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Get regular cleanings<\/strong> &#8211; Professional cleanings and checkups with a cosmetic dentist in Greensboro are very important to monitor your veneers. If small cavities do develop on the teeth underneath, they can often be caught and treated early enough to save the veneer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintain great oral hygiene <\/strong>\u2013 To protect the enamel underneath your veneer from tooth decay, be consistent with your oral hygiene habits. Brush at least twice a day with a fluoridated toothpaste and floss once. A fluoride mouthwash is also helpful.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watch your diet<\/strong> <strong>and habits<\/strong> &#8211; Avoid chewing or biting on anything hard, such as ice, pens, or hard candy that can chip or crack your veneers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use the right products<\/strong> &#8211; Whitening toothpastes contain abrasive materials that can scratch porcelain, so go with a more gentle gel formula instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wear a nightguard if necessary <\/strong>\u2013 Nighttime clenching and grinding can damage your natural teeth and dental work. Wearing a nightguard can prevent chips and cracks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With these maintenance tips, you\u2019ll have a great chance of enjoying your porcelain veneers for many years.<\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fisherdds.com\/our-team.html\">Dr. David Fisher<\/a> has over 20 years of experience as a general and cosmetic dentist in Greensboro.
