My dentist gave me free teeth whitening gel and trays. I wanted to get all my natural teeth whitening before she placed veneers. After I finished whitening my teeth, I used whitening toothpaste to keep them bright. And after I got veneers, I kept using the toothpaste. But last week, at my dental appointment, the hygienist said that I could damage the veneers with the whitening toothpaste. I thought that other whitening agents do not change the color or harm veneers. Could I really scratch them with the toothpaste that I&#8217;m using to keep my natural teeth bright? &#8211; Deynah from Long Island<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deynah,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for your question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whitening toothpaste cannot change the colors of your veneers. But if you use them long-term, their abrasiveness might scratch the glaze on your veneers. If you have not been using the toothpaste long, do not worry about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can Scratch Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain toothpastes, dental materials, and dental chemicals can damage the glaze on porcelain veneers.
