Dental bonding is one of the easiest and most convenient cosmetic treatments out there. It often takes just one appointment to get a new smile and the best part - there's no special aftercare required. You can go for a drink or bite with your friends immediately after the treatment.
That said, dental bonding is not as strong and durable as your natural teeth and you should take some long-term precautions to make it last for as long as possible.
Here's how to take care of bonded teeth.
Good oral hygiene is crucial to keep your mouth healthy and prolong the lifespan of your dental bonding. Brushing helps remove bacteria-filled plaque while the fluoride in the toothpaste coats your teeth, adding a barrier of protection against acids in your mouth.
Opt for a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle toothpaste as the bonding material can get scratched if you use harsher products.
You have a stubborn bag of chips and no scissors around, so what do you do? You use your teeth to open it. But, using your teeth as tools too often will increase the risk of damaging or breaking your bonding.
As a rule of thumb, don't use your teeth to open packages, chew on pen caps, bite your nails, open bottle caps, and so on.
Ideally, you should stay away from foods like nuts, hard candies, popcorn kernels, and pretzels. The same goes for foods that can stick to your teeth like taffies.
But, if you are really craving them, be very careful how you bite and chew them to avoid breaking your dental bonding.
