Unfortunately, it\u2019s not always the good kind of effect! You might be relying on your favorite variety to protect and clean your teeth, but certain qualities can damage your veneers, shortening their lifespan. To see if your toothpaste and dental cosmetics are compatible, keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does the Tube Say \u201cWhitening\u201d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plenty of people want whiter teeth, which means that plenty of companies market whitening toothpastes. These over-the-counter dental staining solutions tend to contain highly abrasive materials that aren\u2019t good for your porcelain veneers \u2013 or your natural teeth, for that matter. As the rough paste gets brushed back and forth, enamel and porcelain alike become worn down. It\u2019s better to avoid whitening toothpaste altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does it Contain Activated Charcoal or Baking Soda?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These two substances came on the social media scene as DIY teeth whitening alternatives. Like the toothpastes that came before them, the results are often disappointing. More importantly, though, activated charcoal and baking soda are also highly abrasive. Spare your countertop the mess and protect your porcelain veneers by staying well away from these two ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Toothpastes <em>Can <\/em>I Use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bottles with the \u201csensitivity\u201d label or dental gels are usually veneer-friendly. As long as they\u2019re not paired with whitening materials, you can trust that they\u2019re made for gentle oral hygiene. Fluoride toothpastes can actually give your dental cosmetics a boost by fortifying your teeth against gum-disease- and tooth-decay-causing bacteria. But once again, you\u2019ll have to keep a keen eye on the ingredient list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be absolutely positively certain that your toothpaste won\u2019t prematurely wear out your beautiful veneers, talk to your dentist. They\u2019ll know exactly which kinds are easy on dental cosmetics and might even be able to point you towards a type that will suit your unique preferences. Never be afraid to ask them how you can best take care of your teeth or your porcelain veneers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whiteclaydental.com\/meet-dr-bond.html\">Donald Bond<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whiteclaydental.com\/meet-dr-ganfield.html\">Timothy D.
