When you imagine problems with veneers, you likely picture issues like stains, chips, and similar damage. The idea that these shells<\/a> could come off your teeth may not have occurred to you. Still, think again; a veneer actually can fall from a tooth sometimes. You’ll need to respond properly if that ever happens, so your Austin dentist is here with some guidance. Keep reading to learn what you should do when your veneer falls off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Find & Collect the Veneer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For starters, don\u2019t immediately focus on your now-exposed tooth. Find and collect the fallen veneer, as doing so can preserve treatment results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do find the shell, put it in a clean and sealable container. (Even storing broken pieces would be helpful.) A local dentist could potentially reattach the veneer, thus ensuring your tooth stays pretty. That said, whether reattachment is possible will depend on the porcelain\u2019s condition and damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Contact Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You should contact your dentist once you\u2019ve found the veneer. At that point, booking the earliest appointment possible is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you call the dentist about your veneer, remember to explain things in detail. The more information the dental practice has, the more they can do to help your exposed tooth. Background knowledge also lets the dentist act more quickly, making treatment less time-consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Wait for Care Carefully<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After you\u2019ve booked an appointment, be careful with your tooth while you wait. Upsetting the affected area before your treatment would just make things worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’d be great if you could avoid hot and cold foods. Even if they\u2019re tasty, such items would irritate your veneer-less tooth due to the latter\u2019s lack of enamel. As for what to have instead, a good idea would be soft and mild stuff \u2013 yogurt, room-temperature soup, etc. Just make sure to ignore any rough sensation from the tooth while you eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Try Some Temporary Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As necessary, rely on temporary solutions before your dental visit. These measures can make your wait for treatment more bearable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rather effective \u201csolution\u201d would be to use dental wax. By placing some on the exposed tooth, you\u2019d shield yourself from oral sensitivity and rough enamel. All you have to do is find a good brand of wax from your local supermarket or pharmacy. Otherwise, you can order some dental wax from a vetted online retailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your veneer falls off, please don\u2019t panic. Just use the steps above so your tooth gets the best help possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
