If you have veneers and don’t know how to maintain them correctly, here are some tips you should know.
Dental treatments with veneers are becoming more and more frequent, as they are really effective when it comes to correcting aesthetic defects related to the shape, color, size, or position of the teeth.
Dental veneers, also known as aesthetic veneers, are aesthetic reconstructions that aim to improve the external image of the teeth since they allow visually modifying the shape, brightness, color, and masking various oral pathologies.
There are currently two types of veneers used in dental clinics: porcelain and composite. In both cases, they require special care to maintain their best condition, especially when the veneers are newly implanted.

HOW DO GET THE CORRECT CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE VENEERS?
- Do not consume substances or foods that dye. Tea, coffee, tobacco, cola drinks, red fruits, or dyes are some of the most frequent. To maintain the color of the veneers you should avoid them, or brush your teeth a few moments after consumption.
- Avoid eating hard foods. If you have just had a veneer implant, it is advisable not to eat nuts, bite cold foods such as ice, or chocolate from the fridge, or do any type of action that implies extra effort for your teeth.
- Do not use your teeth as a “tool”. Don’t chew on pens, and don’t reach for your teeth to do your nails. Any action you take with your teeth will take its toll on your veneers. Limit your teeth for chewing action.
- Maintain proper dental hygiene. Brush your teeth 3 times a day but do not limit your hygiene exclusively to toothbrushes and toothpaste. Currently, there are many options that complement brushing such as dental floss, mouthwashes, or interproximal brushes, although none of them is as effective as the regular use of an oral irrigator. What does it consist of? Irrigation is a pressurized water technique that manages to eliminate all the remains of food and plaque that seem impossible to reach with the brush. We are facing the perfect option to maintain proper hygiene in any mouth with dental veneers.
BENEFITS OF USING AN ORAL IRRIGator
- Reduction of dental plaque. It is the perfect complement for interdental cleaning, as it easily removes plaque from areas where the brush cannot reach.
- Healthier gums. The inflammation and bleeding of the gums are reduced by the massage offered by the pressure of the water, helping to prevent gingivitis or periodontitis.
- Greater sense of cleanliness. After brushing, applying water or mouthwash through the irrigator allows us to achieve a more lasting freshness during the day.
