I’m hoping your dentist reviewed your home care approach regarding yourn veneers. Daily brushing and skillful flossing is the key. It is imperative that you have excellent home care to keep the tooth structure that is bonded to the veneer healthy. Best of luck!
Best answer would be to ask the dentist that placed them.....but treat them
like your own teeth ..brush and flos after meals 6 mo checkup...they should
not change color with time
WEAR A NIGHT GUARD!
Hello,
You asked how to clean under veneers. Since veneers are applied with a bonding cement and sealed around the margins, you should not be able to get underneath the veneers.
The best way I suggest to my patients is the use of a water pik and electric toothbrush. Daily use of fluoride rinses in addition to fluoridated toothpaste is also highly recommended. With routine dental visits at least twice a year should aid in maintaining your veneers for many years to come.
You clean the back of the teeth and the front of your teeth with a Med-soft toothbrush and the sides touching the neighbors with Unwaxed dental floss. Use low abrasive toothpaste, such as the “baking soda” types
