When you first get your veneers<\/a>, it can be a little bit overwhelming how quickly things change. People who are responding to your newfound confidence might start treating you differently, and you might be smiling more without realizing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, another thing that might change is that you\u2019ll also need to learn how to properly take care of your veneers. For example, you should probably be thinking about which toothpaste to use. To make the whole thing a little less overwhelming, here are the kinds of toothpaste to avoid if you don\u2019t want to mess up your veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Toothpaste Should I Avoid?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most veneers are made of porcelain, which responds differently to certain kinds of toothpaste than your natural teeth. In fact, toothpaste that your dentist might recommended for your enamel can actually damage your veneers. Here are two examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whitening Toothpaste<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For a while now, dentists have been making use of hydrogen peroxide to whiten teeth. This chemical is incredibly adept at removing stains, so much so that many toothpaste companies have begun adding it to their products. Whitening toothpaste has been proven to be effective at peeling stains off of enamel, but they don\u2019t work the same way as porcelain. In fact, hydrogen peroxide can weaken the cement that attaches your veneers to your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abrasive Toothpaste<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Porcelain is softer than enamel, so toothpaste designed to scrub your natural teeth might scratch up your veneers. That not only weakens them, it also creates a small ridge that can collect bacteria. You should take care to avoid gritty toothpastes that contain baking soda or charcoal. It\u2019s also a good idea to steer clear of stiff-bristled toothbrushes for this reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Toothpaste Should I Use to Clean Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are some brands of toothpaste that are designed specifically with veneers in mind, but getting them isn’t really necessary. Any fluoride toothpaste that doesn\u2019t fall into one of the above categories should be just fine for your veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Care for My Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Caring for your veneers is a lot like taking care of your natural teeth. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and the proper toothpaste to brush them twice a day. Then, floss them as you would any other tooth. The only other difference would be that you should probably avoid alcohol-based mouthwash, as this can weaken your veneers\u2019 cement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you still have concerns about which toothpaste to use, you can always ask your dentist for a recommendation. They took the time to craft your veneers, so they\u2019d be happy to help you keep them in top shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
