Whether you just got your veneers, or you&#8217;ve had them for many years, don&#8217;t panic if one falls off. Here&#8217;s what you should do until you see your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodmandentalcare.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency dentist<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reasons Why Veneers Fall Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s common for veneers to last for over a decade with the right care, like brushing and flossing. However, a veneer can lose its bond with your tooth, which may occur for various reasons, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It\u2019s Older:<\/strong> The bonding material can weaken with age, especially as time passes. Eventually, your veneer can fall off.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Poor Application:<\/strong> If your tooth wasn\u2019t prepared correctly or there was an error during the bonding process, you can experience veneer failure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Improper Fit:<\/strong> A veneer must fit your tooth like a glove. The smallest of errors during the impression or fabrication process can cause your veneer to fit incorrectly, which may result in it popping off.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tooth Decay:<\/strong> Veneers can\u2019t get cavities, but your underlying tooth is still vulnerable to decay. Cavity-causing bacteria can gain access to your tooth through cracks that form in the dental cement over time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bad Habits:<\/strong> Chewing on inedible objects, biting your fingernails, or using your teeth like scissors can damage your veneers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Handling a Lost Veneer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your veneer falls off, don\u2019t panic. Here\u2019s what you should do at home until your dental appointment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Find the Pieces:<\/strong> Pick up the pieces and place them in a storage container with a lid. If your veneer isn\u2019t damaged, your dentist may be able to bond it to your tooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Contact Your Dentist:<\/strong> Contact your emergency dentist for an appointment. Do not delay treatment because your tooth will be vulnerable to sensitivity, decay, and damage without the protection of a restoration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manage Pain:<\/strong> Take an OTC pain reliever if you have any discomfort. Avoid any hot or cold foods and drinks to prevent sensitivity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eat Carefully:<\/strong> Eat soft foods that require minimal chewing. Chew on the opposite side of your mouth, if possible.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep Your Mouth Clean:<\/strong> Commit to brushing your teeth after every meal to remove plaque and food residue. Don\u2019t forget to floss your teeth every day. Rinse your mouth with salt water to reduce pain and inflammation. It will also kill any harmful bacteria.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your emergency dentist will get you into the office quickly. They\u2019ll determine if your veneer is salvageable or if you need a replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Dr. Jeremy Goodman<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodmandentalcare.com\/jeremy-goodman-dds.html\">Dr. Goodman<\/a> achieved his dental degree at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry and has completed a residency in Advanced General Dentistry.
