They\u2019re custom-crafted shells that are specially made to conceal a variety of cosmetic flaws by fitting perfectly over the visible portion of your natural teeth. Although they look like small, strong shields, they can\u2019t prevent oral health problems from developing in your natural teeth. Read on to learn how you can take care of your smile to prevent a porcelain veneer cavity from forming.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Can Veneers Protect My Teeth?<\/h2>\n<p>Although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentistsatorenco.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\">porcelain veneers<\/a> seem like a magical dental solution that can practically fix it all, they can\u2019t protect your teeth and gums from harmful substances like plaque and bacteria without a little help. Veneers themselves are made of non-porous, strong dental porcelain that cannot experience decay or disease, but your natural tooth that\u2019s underneath them still can. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to follow your cosmetic dentist\u2019s aftercare instructions and to keep up with your oral hygiene.<\/p>\n<h2>What Causes Porcelain Veneer Cavities?<\/h2>\n<p>Although your teeth are covered, it doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re completely protected from harmful oral bacteria, food debris, and plaque. There are several factors that could cause cavities to develop underneath your veneers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Veneers that aren\u2019t permanently placed correctly may not fit over the entire portion of your natural tooth, leaving small crevices to collect harmful substances and become vulnerable to decay.<\/li>\n<li>Poor oral hygiene means harmful oral bacteria and plaque isn\u2019t regularly removed from your mouth and can cause oral health problems to develop.<\/li>\n<li>Taking medications that cause dry mouth and patients with autoimmune disorders may have a harder time fighting off conditions like gum disease.<\/li>\n<li>Patients who may not have been good candidates for the procedure in the first place, like ones who have gum disease or damaged teeth, may experience complications down the road.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The best way to avoid oral health problems from occurring is to choose an experienced cosmetic dentist and visit them for an initial consultation before your treatment begins. Choosing a professional that has done the procedure before will allow for better results.<\/p>\n<h2>How Can I Avoid Oral Health Problems Developing Underneath My Veneers?<\/h2>\n<p>Caring for your porcelain veneers and warding off oral health problems isn\u2019t as hard as it may seem because they don\u2019t require any special care. You\u2019ll just want to follow your cosmetic dentist\u2019s aftercare instructions and be sure to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brush at least twice each day for two minutes, using fluoride toothpaste.<\/li>\n<li>Rinse your mouth with antibacterial mouthwash daily.<\/li>\n<li>Floss your teeth at least once a day.<\/li>\n<li>Visit your dentist for routine checkups and cleanings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the proper maintenance, your veneers can last you decades. By following these preventive precautions, you can avoid having a beautiful smile that\u2019s ruined by a slew of hidden oral health problems. Get the most out of your new investment by keeping your smile looking and feeling fresh!<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Brandon Kearbey has always been interested in cosmetic dentistry.
