Living with a new smile that looks beautiful and is free of chips and cracks can be a freeing experience. Veneers allow for a fully transformed appearance that boosts confidence \u2013 an aspect that is enjoyed by millions. But how protective are these custom restorations? Can they develop cavities over time? What about the natural teeth underneath? This article answers these questions so that you can learn how to take better care of your veneered smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Are Cavities a Concern with Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes. While the actual veneers cannot decay because they are not porous like regular tooth enamel, you must consider the natural teeth that exist beneath the veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veneers only cover the front surfaces of teeth, which means the remaining surfaces are left exposed to bacteria, plaque, and tartar. If proper oral hygiene habits are not practiced, if regular visits to the dentist\u2019s office are not maintained, and if unhealthy diets persist, there is a high risk of cavities forming on natural tooth enamel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should this happen, your veneers will be at risk. Over time, gum disease can form and cause the gums to recede. This can make your veneers visible, as they will no longer remain snug against the gumline. Also, bacteria can eat away at the enamel, and without treatment, your teeth can loosen and fall out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can Be Done to Reduce Cavities?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trying to reduce the risk of cavities requires time and effort. Not only will your dentist examine your smile each time you come in for a dental checkup and cleaning, removing anything that might put your veneers at risk, but you\u2019ll be required to adopt good oral hygiene habits at home as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brushing twice each day for two minutes, flossing, and rinsing are all essential. Cleaning veneers, though, requires non-abrasive toothpaste, as the traditional kind can be harsh, resulting in scratches that cause veneers to look dull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating a healthy diet and staying away from foods loaded with sugars and carbohydrates as well as those that are hard and crunchy will not only lower the possibility of cavities but also prevent a dental emergency from occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veneers can be a great way to address imperfections once and for all. Their care and upkeep, though, must remain at the forefront of your mind to ensure cavities remain at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
