lumineers??

[lovemyself1]

hi there,
ok, this might be a dumb question, but if you get Lumineers...does that prevent you from getting cavities on those teeth?

No dumb questions here....good ones actually.

No. Lumineers will not prevent cavities. Lumineers are simply a finer version of a cap or crown. Decay can always occur at the gumline and if the tooth is intact,has had no root canal, and contains an existing filing, decay can also occur at the filling site.

I feel like a nag but oh well, here goes....Floss, Floss FLOSS!!!! Flossing is SO important for your dental health. I cannot stress that enough.

Think of veneers like lipstick for your teeth. It gives you a prettier smile and is purely cosmetic.
