Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored resin applied to the tooth to improve its appearance, shape, or to close gaps.
Stress may lead to teeth grinding, neglecting oral hygiene, and an increased risk of mouth ulcers or gum disease.
Gum stimulators with a silicone tip, soft rubber tip, textured tip, massaging tip, bristle tip, gum pick, and tongue cleaner can be used with porcelain veneers, but remove your aligners for effective cleaning between your teeth.
Brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush, avoid aggressive brushing, treat gum disease, avoid tobacco, and see a dentist for regular check-ups.
You can consume energy drinks with porcelain veneers, but be cautious of their high sugar and caffeine content.
Potential causes include cavities, gum disease, impacted teeth, infections, tooth fractures, or temporomandibular joint disorders.
