Tips for Dental Veneers Cleaning and Maintenance

Once we know the problems that usually occur when we do not take the necessary care of the veneers, we will give you some tips to keep them in perfect condition.

Deep oral hygiene

Teeth with veneers do not require special treatment in terms of cleaning, but they do require frequent and thorough cleaning. Brushing a minimum of twice a day, flossing and mouth rinsing will keep away any bacterial infection and eliminate possible stains that may adhere as a result of food and drink intake. With this routine, the veneers will remain in perfect condition and will not need to be replaced before the scheduled period.

Avoid practices that may damage the teeth.

Too often we treat teeth improperly, using them to apply force and causing damage to them. If someone continues to engage in potentially harmful practices after veneers have been applied, the veneers will suffer as well.

Biting the nails or trying to open something with the force of the teeth are some of these practices, but not the only ones. You should also try to avoid foods that are too hard, and in general, anything that can cause erosion or cracks.

Do not consume food or beverages that may affect the color of the veneers.

Although it is difficult to give up habits such as coffee, it is advisable not to over-consume it, as it can end up blackening the veneers and giving them an unpleasant appearance. The same applies to other foods that can stain veneers, such as curry, dark chocolate or some sauces, such as soy sauce. Cleaning dental veneers will always be much easier if you do not have to deal with deep stains caused by these types of foods.

Eliminating tobacco

There is no good reason to continue smoking. In addition to the potential health risks, as we all know, wearing veneers and continuing to smoke is a contradiction in terms. Tobacco is one of the elements that can most affect the coloration of veneers.
