What products should we use ?
We have also reached the last article in the series which aims to inform patients correctly. In this series we have provided important information about all the steps that a patient goes through in the process of getting the veneers, we talked about which clinics and doctors guarantee an optimal result, and in this last article we will tell you everything you need to do. you do after you finish the veneers treatment.
What do we do after a treatment with veneers ?
In order of importance, we will outline some of the most necessary things that you, as a patient, must consider. First of all, it is extremely necessary that every 6 months or depending on the possibilities, 1 year, go to the dentist for a routine control of the work. It is just a control that does not require any intervention, to check if the work is in perfect condition, eventually some irregularities can be detected that you would not have realized until too late.
Also, taking into account several well-defined periods, every 3-6 months it is recommended that the patient perform a descaling, a professional brushing and an air-flow session. Why are these necessary? Well, the fact that you have been treated with veneers does not mean that the tartar is no longer deposited, on the contrary, it can be deposited even on the veneers, but the appearance of caries may be as possible. Twice a year it is recommended to visit the dentist for those mentioned above. VERY IMPORTANT: On dental veneers, WHITENING treatments cannot and are not recommended in any form !
Take care of consumed foods
We are aware that you need all the information if you want to maintain your veneers properly. Thus, we will give you some information and about what foods should be avoided as much as possible, but more than that, how we eat them.
What is the difference between a porcelain or even a harsher veneer but that is applied by the same principles? Resistance to hard foods will never be identical to that of natural teeth. So, in order to keep the veneers functional and whole, we recommend that you pay close attention to the foods you consume.
The insistent bites in hard fruits such as apples or pears should be avoided as much as possible. The veneers will not fall if you bite from an apple, but they will be more pressured than it should. All bites should also be avoided in case of slices of bread toast, hard chocolate, etc. Do you want to eat hard foods? Use the kitchen ustensils to cut them into pieces, and then use the molars to chew. Seeds, strong nuts are also included in the range of foods we have to be careful about. Also for ice, bones, dry foods. Great attention to the grinding of your teeth! The right choice would be to give up this habit.
Protection plans - A MUST HAVE
Let's say you invested 3000 - 4000 euros for a veneers treatment for an arch, and the level of satisfaction has reached its limit. We recommend you to opt for a protection plan that, compared to the price paid on treatment, represents ~ 10% of the total spent. The disadvantages involved in dental insurance will disappear. You will no longer have to go through a lengthy process, you will no longer stay with the money locked in insurance.
We know you probably think nothing will happen to you and you will take great care of your smile. No one questioned this. But accidents happen and it is better for you to find the solution in the shortest time.
What products should you use ?
Obviously, for the care of the entire dental system, we recommend that you start using a mouth irrigator, this may be from the Phillips, but it is not a mandatory aspect. Mouth water will also have to become a component of the daily dental hygiene system.
It's time to start using an electric brush. You've probably heard rumors about the hardness of the brushes. It is up to you what kind of electric brush you use, it will not affect the dental veneers.
The special toothpaste for dental veneers has not yet been offered for sale, so at this point, we cannot recommend an optimal toothpaste. However, in 2020, the PRANOYA will put on sale the first toothpaste for dental veneers on the market. It is a product made 100% in Romania, of a superior quality scientifically proven and rigorously tested by the most important organisms in the European Union.
In conclusion
Therefore, once you have completed the veneers treatment, it is very important to go for checks once or twice a year. Take care of foods that may weaken the hardness of your veneers, and probably the most important aspect: Adopt a healthy lifestyle, both for you and your dental system. Use products that give results and you will enjoy a perfect smile for the rest of your life. Choose to collaborate with Dental Guard partners for the best results !
