| Home care instructions for your new veneers Norwalk |
You have finally got that beautiful ‘Hollywood’ smile that you have been dreaming of all your life with new veneers. Congratulations! Now that you have got that dream smile, it’s time that you finally started taking proper care of your teeth so that it will maintain that look. Let’s have a look at the things you have to do to keep that smile glowing and that you don’t put all those big bucks that you spent on the new veneers.
Here are some tips that you can follow to maintain their appearance.
1. This is the first thing that you should do. This is more to do with comfort than anything else. It involves staying away from food which have extreme temperatures (such as too hot or too cold). This is because, since your teeth would have been shaped and shaved in order to fit the veneers, they could be very sensitive. This should be practiced for at least two weeks.
2. Diet is extremely important in taking care of veneers. In general, you could eat any type of food without any problem as such, but it would be in your best interest (and the interest of the veneer) if you try to avoid biting hard foods as much as possible. Rather, it would be a better idea to break up the hard foods or cut them into pieces so that you will be able to chew them with your back teeth.
3. Flossing is important. You have to consider your veneers as your normal teeth and floss them as much as you used to. It would be a good idea to floss your teeth in between meals. However, at the very minimum, you should floss at least once a day in order to keep plaque away from your veneers.
4. Use a soft toothbrush to brush your veneers. If you are using hard brushes or brush extremely hard, you will assist in making them loose. This will increase the chances of the veneers accumulating bacteria and tooth decay. In order to avoid this, you should chew your food completely and avoid food from sticking in between your teeth.
5. Maintain your teeth regularly. Tooth cleaning should ideally be done every 6 months. In the same vein, you should ensure that your dentist knows your dental history very well so that he takes the most appropriate measures to maintain your teeth, thereby reducing the chances of damaging yoru teeth. |
