Regular dental check-ups are essential.
Use gentle dental care products to protect your veneers.
Regular oral hygiene
The cornerstone for the longevity of your veneers is thorough and regular oral hygiene. This includes careful and cautious brushing twice a day to avoid damaging your veneers. Be sure to brush gently in a circular motion and clean both the front and back of the teeth.
Daily flossing helps to thoroughly clean the spaces between your teeth and remove plaque and food debris. Add an antibacterial mouthwash to your routine to keep bacteria at bay and keep your mouth healthy. A mouthwash can help clean hard-to-reach areas and reduce the number of bacteria in your mouth, reducing the risk of inflammation and infection.
Avoidance of harmful habits
Some habits can cause considerable damage to your veneers. Do not chew on hard objects such as ice cubes, pencils or fingernails, as these can cause cracks or chips. Certain foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine and nicotine also cause discoloration. Try to reduce these consumption habits or clean your teeth thoroughly after consumption. If you grind your teeth at night, a splint can help to protect your veneers.
Regular dental check-ups
Visit your dental practice at least twice a year. These visits are used for:
Professional cleaning: Even with careful home care, plaque and discoloration build up that only experts can remove.
Checking the veneers: Your dentist will check the condition of your veneers and can detect and treat damage at an early stage.
Advice and adjustment: If necessary, your dentist can optimize your care routine and make adjustments to your veneers.
Correct selection of dental care products
Not all dental care products are equally suitable for veneers. Choosing the right products can make a big difference when it comes to maintaining the life and appearance of your veneers. Regular adjustments to your dental care products in consultation with your dentist can also help to ensure that your veneers are optimally cared for.
