Plenty of celebrities use veneers<\/a> to enhance their smiles, and you can do the same. From misshapen teeth to minor chips in the enamel, veneers can be used to solve all kinds of cosmetic issues. However, once they are in place, you need to take proper care of them to ensure that they last as long as possible. Fortunately, this is simpler than you might think \u2013 especially if you follow these 5 helpful tips from your knowledgeable dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Practice Good Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers might cover your teeth, but they don\u2019t significantly lower your risk for cavities. You will still need to brush, floss, and rinse every day if you want to avoid tooth decay. That said, it\u2019s important to be gentle when cleaning your veneers; you may end up damaging them if you brush too aggressively. Your dentist can go over proper oral hygiene practices with you once your veneers are in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Invest in the Right Kind of Toothpaste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some brands of toothpaste contain abrasive ingredients to break up plaque. However, abrasive toothpaste is generally not a good choice if you have veneers since it can easily scratch the porcelain surface. Take the time to look for toothpaste that won\u2019t leave a mark on your new smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Think Carefully About the Foods You Eat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You need to avoid putting too much pressure on your veneers, as doing so could cause them to crack. As such, it is highly recommended that you stay away from peppermints, ice, unpopped popcorn kernels, and other hard foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also important to be aware of foods and beverages that can stain teeth. Veneers that are made out of porcelain don\u2019t become discolored easily, but any uncovered teeth will be just as susceptible as ever. If your other teeth change color, your veneers might start to stand out in a way you don\u2019t want. Staining foods and drinks don\u2019t have to be avoided entirely, but they\u2019re best enjoyed in moderation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Don\u2019t Use Tobacco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You probably don\u2019t need to be reminded about the negative effects tobacco can have on your health, but it can also lead to cosmetic consequences. Using tobacco can eventually cause yellow stains to appear on your veneers, leaving you once again with a smile that looks less than its best. You\u2019ll have a better chance of maintaining dazzling veneers if you break your tobacco habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Don\u2019t Forget to Visit Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are your veneers still in good shape? Are there any issues that need to be taken care of? Only a trained dental professional can answer these questions, so be sure to make time to visit your dentist every 6 months to let them have a look at your veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
