I recently made some big changes in my life in regards to my health and wellness. Now that I am in a good place, one of the last things I would like to do is transform my smile. Since I hadn\u2019t really taken care of my teeth for a long time, I had some periodontal disease that needed taken care of and after treatment and a few deep-cleanings, I was ready to move forward. I chose to go the route of Lumineers, but when my dentist said he didn\u2019t do them, but rather another brand of ultra thin veneers, I didn\u2019t question him about it and we started the process. It\u2019s been a few months and I can\u2019t say enough about how much I love my teeth! I can\u2019t stop smiling because they look so good. The only thing I have noticed is something has changed with my breath \u2013 and it\u2019s not for the better. It stinks! The dentist says I am not practicing good dental hygiene, but I know that\u2019s not true. I got to thinking about this other brand of veneers he used. I didn\u2019t question him about it at the time, but now I\u2019m wondering if they were some sort of knock-off brand that isn\u2019t as good and they are causing the problem.\u00a0 — Catherine<\/p>\n

Dear Catherine,
\nYou\u2019ll find many dentists who opt for other brands of ultra-thin veneers over Lumineers<\/a>. They find them better not only in quality, but in functionality and fit. Another great advantage is that dentists \u2013 particularly skilled cosmetic dentists — can use a lab of their choice to give patients more aesthetic results.<\/p>\n

Bad breath is often hard to pinpoint, but one of the first things to look into is your diet. Did you change anything about the foods you\u2019ve been eating since you had the veneers placed? You mentioned periodontal disease which can also be a source. After living with it for so long, you might not have even noticed the smell. The treatments and deep cleanings probably took care of any odors, but if it\u2019s been a while, your gums could be showing signs of disease again.<\/p>\n

Make an appointment with your dentist for another cleaning and be sure your hygienist is aware of your concerns. The veneers could have created some hidden areas that you might be missing when you brush. Bacteria and food might be trapped and you don\u2019t know it. She can take a good look and if there are those types of areas, she can give you tips on how to get them clean.<\/p>\n

If the gum disease was severe, you might ask about more frequent cleanings in the short-term. If you try all these things and there\u2019s still no improvement, get a second opinion. In the event the veneers were bonded incorrectly or improperly shaped, it\u2019s possible you can get them adjusted or reshaped.<\/p>\n
