Another very important advantage of dental veneers is that they are very durable, as long as the proper care is taken. In this article, we will tell you about 8 easy and practical tips you should follow to make your dental veneers last for many years.
How to take care of your dental veneers
Be careful with colourants
Avoid consuming foods or products that have a high concentration of colourants, whether they are natural or artificial, such as mustard, red wine, coffee, dark chocolate, curry, etc. Also, try to use rinses and toothpastes without colourants. Recurrent use of these products will cause dental veneers to lose their colour and shine, as well as get stained.
Stop smoking
It will not only be healthy for your whole body, but also for your teeth. Nicotine is a substance that quickly stains both veneers and natural teeth.
Daily brushing
Brushing your teeth after every meal will be the most important thing to maintain good oral health. Remember to do it 3 times a day with a soft bristle brush.
Biting objects

Mouth guard
If you play contact sports, it is recommended that you wear a MOUTH GUARD, whether or not you have veneers. The use of mouthguards avoids possible cracks or fractures.
Avoid eating hard or sticky food
