My family's dental health is important to me. Unfortunately for me, it is not as important to my little ones. Getting my kids to brush and floss on a daily basis is almost like taking on an obstacle course. I talked to my family's dentist about different methods I could try to encourage them to brush and floss on a regular basis. Some of the tricks worked, some did not. After some experimentation and talking to other parents, I was able to come up with a lot of great tips for helping kids care for their teeth. I started this blog to help other parents get creative when it comes to their kids and dental care.

4 Reasons Porcelain Veneers Are The Best Choice
Bella Snyder
Have you ever been afraid to flash your smile? Do you notice that you have a close-lipped smile in all of your pictures? You should have a smile that you are proud of. It helps to smile naturally when you are meeting new people because it puts them at ease. Your oral health is incredibly important and plays into the aesthetic of your smile. Porcelain veneers can help correct problems with your smile. Here are four reasons porcelain veneers are the best choice.
Porcelain veneers are easy and inexpensive to care for.
Caring for your porcelain veneers is as easy as caring for your natural teeth. Simply carry out a good oral hygiene routine by brushing your teeth twice daily, and flossing thoroughly every day, too. Porcelain veneers do not require any other special attention or tools for regular maintenance. The primary concern is keeping your existing natural teeth and gums healthy and clean.
Veneers can stand up to tooth-staining foods.
Porcelain veneers are made of medical-grade ceramic. Unlike your natural teeth, they are not porous. They can stand up to staining beverages and foods. Go ahead and dig into berry pies and foods with red sauces. Coffee, soda, and red wine no longer represent a big concern. Porcelain veneers are also impervious to staining from medications and cigarette smoke.
Porcelain veneers correct a variety of smile defects.
You might decide to turn to cosmetic dentistry if you have one or several defects that are detracting from the attractiveness of your smile. Luckily, porcelain veneers can help transform your smile regardless of your number of smile defects. Porcelain veneers help to spruce up the following tooth defects:
- gapped teeth
- misaligned teeth
- cracked teeth
- chipped teeth
- discolored teeth
Veneers can be placed in a single appointment.
Once your cosmetic dentist orders your veneers, then it is a simple matter of sitting for one appointment to get your smile makeover. Your dentist shapes your natural teeth for maximum bonding with the veneers. They apply a strong adhesive and then fit the ceramic shells over your teeth. As soon as your leave the dentist, you are set and have a gorgeous, brand new smile. You do not have to sit through multiple appointments or get your veneers applied in stages. This is a great option if you are looking for a quick and reliable way to achieve the smile that you have always wanted.
