Preserving Your Dental Work
If you have dental work, you may be pleased with the results of your dental procedures. However, your dental work may be damaged if proper precautions are not taken to keep your dental appliances or devices safe.
Here are a few things you can do to help preserve your dental work.
Avoid Chewing on Hard Substances
Items, such as ice, pencils, fingernails and hard candy, should not be chewed. The bite pressure applied to the items may be intense enough to cause a dental device, such as a crown or veneer to crack.
