A friend of mine just told me I shouldn\u2019t be using abrasive toothpaste on my porcelain veneers, and recommended Supersmile toothpaste. I\u2019m concerned that I have made a very expensive mistake&#8230;that the abrasive toothpaste has either scratched my veneers or it will cause the glaze to come off and the shine will not last as long. Help!<\/p>\n<p>John in California<\/p>\n<p>John,<br \/>\nYour friend is correct in telling you that abrasive toothpastes are not ideal for porcelain veneers. However, you do not need to worry about it scratching the porcelain because porcelain is too hard. The issue is with the bonding composite used to attach the porcelain to your tooth &#8212; abrasive toothpaste will scratch or wear it away. Bonding composite forms a very thin line around the entire veneer and the thickness of it depends on the technique of the dentist and the ceramist (it could be anywhere from 100-200 microns or about the thickness of three to five hairs). Using abrasive toothpaste for only two months, you likely will not notice anything yet. If the bonding composite was scratched, it could eventually pick up stain and you would notice a line of stain around the veneer. The other issue with abrasive toothpaste is that it wears away the composite, forming what would be the equivalent of a tiny \u201cditch\u201d around the veneer. This ditch would attract plaque and eventually start decaying.<\/p>\n<p>Just like your care needs regular maintenance to keep working properly, think of Supersmile toothpaste as great \u201cmaintenance\u201d product for your expensive cosmetic dental work. If you use Supersmile on a regular basis from here on out, you should be smiling for many years to come.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/\">New Orleans cosmetic dentist<\/a> Dr. Duane Delaune.
