This is a regular question I get asked by my patients that deserves a follow up.
Any restoration that has been 'added' or 'bonded' to your teeth needs special attention. Veneers, crowns and fillings ALL have 'seams' and no matter how smooth these seams are they will harbour the nasties that can cause decay or gum disease. Therefore you are more likely to have problems than someone with no restorations at all.
In short, the hygienist is the person to prevent decay or gum disease. They are specially trained to look after existing teeth and restorations and are great at finding problems. If your restorations have 'snags' on them THEY ARE NOT RIGHT!
A hygienist will help you maintain healthy teeth and help your restorations to last longer.
