Your dazzling new smile can last for a decade or longer with the right aftercare. Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchesterbedforddentist.com\/new-patients.html\">oral hygiene<\/a> is the most important factor to influence the lifespan of your veneers. Your brushing routine is your first line of defense against decay, infections, and other issues that can cause your veneers to fail; however, only if you use the right products. The wrong toothpaste can ruin your smile. Don\u2019t worry, here\u2019s how to choose the best toothpaste to get the most from your investment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Type of Toothpaste Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchesterbedforddentist.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\">Veneers<\/a> are made of porcelain because it closely looks like enamel. It\u2019s also lightweight and durable, but it\u2019s not indestructible. The wrong toothpaste will damage your veneers, as well as any abrasive dental products, like hard-bristled toothbrushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abrasive products can scratch your veneers, making them look dull and discolored. Food particles and plaque can get trapped in the spaces, further affecting their appearance and causing unpleasant odors. It will also damage your veneers over time, so you\u2019ll need replacements sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toothpaste to Avoid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your cosmetic dentist will recommend avoiding 2 types of toothpaste that can harm your veneers, which include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Abrasive Toothpaste: <\/strong>Certain ingredients can be abrasive, like baking soda. Although they can help polish your natural teeth, they can ruin the shine and texture of veneers.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Whitening Toothpaste:<\/strong> A whitening toothpaste isn\u2019t necessary because porcelain is stain-resistant. Hydrogen peroxide can also damage the structure of veneers.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Toothpaste for Veneers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to pay more for specialty toothpaste to maintain your veneers. You just need to find one that will provide a good clean gently. Look for toothpaste that doesn\u2019t contain any whitening agents, like baking soda or hydrogen peroxide. Gel toothpaste is often less abrasive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the texture and ingredients, look for the American Dental Association\u2019s Seal of Acceptance, which means it has undergone voluntary testing for safety and effectiveness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Forget About Your Toothbrush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your toothbrush is just as important as the toothpaste you use. Only use soft-bristled toothbrushes that accommodate the size of your mouth, whether manual or electric. Again, look for those that have the ADA\u2019s Seal of Acceptance. Even with soft bristles, avoid pushing too hard when brushing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brush your teeth twice daily, if not after every meal, for 2 minutes to remove food debris and plaque. Don\u2019t forget to floss daily to remove buildup that can lead to gum disease. Besides caring for your smile at home, visit your dentist every 6 months for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchesterbedforddentist.com\/dental-checkups-and-cleanings.html\">cleaning and checkup<\/a>. Your new smile will thrive for years by keeping your teeth and gums healthy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Stephen L.
