Veneers can enhance the appearance of your teeth, but they don’t protect against cavities. While veneers cover the front surface of a tooth, the underlying tooth structure is still vulnerable to decay.
🦷 What Veneers Can and Can’t Do
- ✅ Can: Provide a protective layer over the visible front of the tooth
- ❌ Can’t: Shield the back, sides, or between teeth from plaque and bacteria
🧼 Why Oral Hygiene Still Matters
- Veneers don’t eliminate the need for brushing, flossing, and dental cleanings
- Decay can still develop at the margins where the veneer meets the natural tooth
- Gum health is essential — poor hygiene can lead to inflammation and veneer failure
🧠 Tip: Treat Veneers Like Natural Teeth
- Brush twice daily with non-abrasive toothpaste
- Floss gently every day
- Avoid sugary snacks and acidic drinks
