This popular cosmetic dental service is widely loved because, in addition to being versatile, the results can last for over a decade with proper care. Below, you will find six habits to adopt to get the most out of your veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Don\u2019t Use a Gritty Toothpaste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that most toothpastes contain abrasive ingredients? Since these can create microscopic scratches on your veneers that cause their appearance to change over time, it\u2019s important that you use a toothpaste made specifically for them. Your dentist can provide you with recommendations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Brush and Floss Consistently<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although veneers are crafted from materials like dental porcelain, which are cavity-resistant, your natural teeth are not. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to be consistent with your oral hygiene regimen! That includes brushing twice a day as well as flossing and rinsing with mouthwash consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Be Mindful of What You Eat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like your natural teeth, your veneers can crack under enough pressure. For that reason, it\u2019s important for patients to keep hard pretzels, peanut brittle, candy canes, and other crunchy foods to a minimum. Instead, eat softer ones that are more nutrient-dense, like plain yogurt and cooked carrots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Use a Straw When Drinking Coffee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One perk of veneers is that they are crafted from materials like dental porcelain, which are stain-resistant. That said, if you want to maintain a balanced, bright smile, you still need to take measures to prevent discoloration, like using a straw when drinking coffee and other dark-colored beverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Break Bad Habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Smoking is one of the worst habits since it can wreak havoc on multiple facets of your smile \u2013 from the health of your gums to the color of your teeth. Of course, it\u2019s not the only habit we recommend breaking. You also shouldn\u2019t bite your nails, chew on ice cubes, or use your teeth as tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Get a Dental Checkup and Cleaning Biannually<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you have one veneer or 12 veneers, you need to prioritize your biannual appointments. That way, we can treat oral health problems, like gum disease, in the early stages. Plus, we can screen for oral cancer, clear away harmful plaque, and check the condition of each veneer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flagshipdental.com\/\">Flagship Dental Group<\/a>, we\u2019re here to provide you with the gorgeous results you desire <em>and<\/em> help you maintain them!
