After all, the last thing you want is to invest your valuable time and money on your gorgeous grin just to have tooth decay ruin it. Don\u2019t worry \u2013 this entire blog is dedicated to how to maintain your healthy, gorgeous smile with veneers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Cavities Get Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The short answer is \u201cyes.\u201d Since veneers only cover the front-facing surface of your teeth, a large portion of your enamel is still vulnerable to erosion, decay, and other dental damage. Plus, it\u2019s possible for food particles, plaque, and other debris to slip under your veneer, negatively impacting the health of the underlying tooth. If this happens, then your veneer will need to be removed to eliminate the decay or infection, which can be time-consuming and costly. That\u2019s why it\u2019s best to do your part to keep your smile in pristine condition!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6 Ways to Keep Your Smile in Pristine Condition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that there are several easy ways to keep your smile in tip-top shape, and many you can do from the comfort of your home! These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Brushing twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a dentist-recommended toothpaste<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flossing and rinsing with mouthwash each evening<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keeping your consumption of foods and drinks with added sugar to a minimum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quitting unhealthy dental habits, like biting your nails and smoking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a straw when drinking dark-colored beverages, like wine, coffee, and juice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exercise caution when eating crunchy, hard, and sticky foods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remember, Your Biannual Checkups and Cleanings Are Important Too!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you implement the above best practices, your oral hygiene regimen would ultimately be incomplete without biannual visits to your dentist\u2019s office. These appointments are broken up into two components: the checkup and the cleaning. During the checkup, your dentist will examine the condition of your veneers as well as your teeth, gums, and tongue to make sure that there aren\u2019t any warning signs of trouble. During the cleaning, your dental hygienist will carefully clear away plaque and tartar to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other serious oral health problems from arising in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.websterlakedental.com\/\">Webster Lake Dental<\/a>, we\u2019re committed to providing each and every patient who comes into our office with the healthiest, happiest smile.
