Veneers<\/a> are an incredibly versatile cosmetic treatment, capable of addressing nearly any aesthetic issue you might have with your teeth. However, unlike some procedures, veneers are permanent. You\u2019ll have to take care of them just as well as you would your natural teeth. If you\u2019re interested in veneers, or you\u2019ve just gotten them, you might be a little unsure of what maintenance will entail.<\/p>\nIf you\u2019re feeling a little lost, it might be good to start somewhere small. Even just knowing what toothpaste to use can make a difference in the longevity of your new veneers. Here\u2019s a guide that might help with that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What Kind of Toothpaste Is Good for Veneers?<\/h2>\n
Frankly, there aren\u2019t many kinds of toothpaste designed specifically for veneers. If you want to properly take care of them, it\u2019s best to ask your cosmetic dentist for a recommendation. Still, it\u2019s also probably smart to understand what makes for good toothpaste, in case you ever have to buy your own.<\/p>\n
There isn\u2019t anything special that your veneers need\u2014most brands of toothpaste that contain fluoride should be able to clean them properly. There are, however, a few things you should avoid.<\/p>\n
What Toothpaste Should I Avoid with Veneers?<\/h2>\n
There are two common types of toothpaste that can potentially damage the porcelain that your veneers are made of:<\/p>\n
Gritty Toothpaste<\/h3>\n
Baking soda and charcoal appear in many kinds of toothpaste. These abrasives can be effective at scraping away excess food particles from your natural teeth, making brushing a bit easier than usual. However, whether your veneers are made of porcelain or resin, they almost certainly aren\u2019t as hard as your natural teeth. Gritty toothpaste can leave scratches on your veneers, which can become a foothold for bacteria and plaque. That\u2019s why it\u2019s best to use toothpaste without these abrasives to care for your veneers.<\/p>\n
Whitening Toothpaste<\/h3>\n
Hydrogen peroxide is frequently used as a whitening agent in a professional dental context, and in recent years it\u2019s also appeared in toothpaste. While it can effectively whiten natural teeth, it doesn\u2019t work quite the same way for your veneers. In fact, hydrogen peroxide can actually weaken porcelain, making your veneer more likely to chip or crack over time.<\/p>\n
As was said earlier, the best way to make sure you get toothpaste safe for your veneers is to ask your dentist for a recommendation. Still, hopefully this guide helped you to understand what you need to look out for when you buy toothpaste for your veneers.<\/p>\n
