A dental irrigator can be used with porcelain veneers, but remove your aligners for effective cleaning between your teeth.
Sugary or acidic foods/beverages can lead to cavities or enamel erosion. A balanced diet provides necessary nutrients for gum health and tooth repair.
Limit staining foods/drinks, rinse after consumption, use a straw, avoid tobacco, brush and floss regularly, and have professional cleanings.
You can consume vitamin water with porcelain veneers, but be mindful of its sugar content and maintain good oral hygiene.
If there’s insufficient jawbone due to atrophy or resorption, a bone graft can provide a more stable base for the implant.
Prevention is the most important part of managing tooth abrasion.
Choose a low abrasion toothpaste as some toothpastes play a significant role in causing tooth abrasion. The RDA value [Relative Dentin Abrasivity] ranges from 0-250. RDA values of 150-250 are considered the harmful.
Use a soft toothbrush and a correct brushing technique using moderate force.
