Is this oral rinse safe for veneers and bondings? I am afraid that if I use it daily I may end up with some costly repairs.

If you need to use biotene daily, that probably means you have xerostomia (subjective perception of dry mouth). Saliva is important to your oral cavity! If the saliva in your mouth is too little, this can lead to other oral complications such as cavities, fungal infections, and even difficulty chewing, swallowing, and speaking. Low saliva flow can also lead to the failure of dental restorations like veneers. It would be to your benefit to find out why your mouth is feeling dry by speaking to your dentist or hygienist. Is your dry mouth related to medications that cause dry mouth, do you have an autoimmune disorder, are you going through cancer therapy, or do you drink too much caffeine? (These are just a few contributors to dry mouth.) However, to answer your question, Biotene should be safe to use with veneers and bonding. However, since they changed their formula recently, I am not 100% sure of the answer. Again, this would be something you should bring up to your dental provider. Veneers are made to be incredibly strong and the same goes with bonding. What you do want to pay attention to is the effectiveness of your brushing and flossing. As mentioned above, dry mouth can lead to cavities. If you leave any plaque behind, it could weaken the tooth structure to which the veneers are bonded to, leading to a failed restoration. So if you paid a lot for your dental treatment, I suggest you also invest in a magnifying mirror with a light, (the kind that girls use to put on make-up) and make sure you're getting your mouth clean at least every night before bed, when saliva flow decreases. Make sure your margins are clean and you do not have inflammation of your gums (especially around your veneers). Red, bleeding gums are a sign of inflammation and could mean you are leaving plaque behind. Hope this helps.

I'm afraid I have no idea. My mother uses it occasionally and she has a veneer. I wouldn't take that as proof that it's safe but there it is. I'd email the manufacturer to be sure.

I believe you would be disappointed in using this product for that particular application. If you had the same tools available as a dentist (cleaners, forced air, and curing tools), I'm sure you would then have no problem with it bonding to your bridge after application. Having the area perfectly clean and perfectly dry is paramount I believe. Unfortunately, those conditions are hard to achieve if you are not in a dentist's setting. I would look for a product that would bond to a somewhat moist surface and would also bond to a super-hard finish. Hope this information helps you on your decision making process.

Veeners are not a biological material and therefore I would go with Diamynt toothpaste because you would want to keep them nice "good". Tooth Builder is probably not "good" for veneers for the simple fact that it probably won't accomplish polishing and brightening them up; however, it is an excellent healthy product choice for the real teeth underneath. Use Tooth Builder maybe just on the molars and Diamynt in the front.. that's what I would probably do with veneers.

Yes. However, sometimes you have to clean out between the bristles and the center piece. After a while not all of the toothpaste is rinsed out or used. I just use my clean fingers to do that job. BTW this is our second Ultero. My husband was one of the testers befoer it was released to the public. Even if you skip a day it keeps you teeth in very good health. We also use some mouthwash occasionally. Hope this helps with your enjoyment of your purchase.

Try rinsing with some dish soap and bottle brush, or vinegar and baking soda, or using denture tabs and warm water. Haven't had a problem with the dish soap and brush every several days.

It doesn't say anywhere if it does or not, but I use a toothpaste with no floride and I floss before I brush so I'm assuming it's ok. I been using this for yrs and this is the only one I like because it's so strong u can pull ur teeth out lol

I don't know for sure but MMM only cleans surface stains. ...Cleans them VERY well, but not a penetrating deep clean. Don't get scared the first time you use it. You're teeth will be BLACK but it swishes out with water and your teeth WILL be whiter. Just don't know enough about veneers to know how reactive they are to things. Sorry I can't be of more help.

My dental hygienist told me I could use it as much as I wished but shouldn't need to use it very often. Currently I probably use it monthly, definitely not daily or weekly. But I was never told about a any time restrictions.

A professional cleaner and disinfectant such as Oral Guard Cleaner (sold on amazon) works great. It is a concentrated cleaner that also disinfects, many dental professionals use this.

It says when you can't brush,use daily. I believe that's what you should do. ( I just am not as faithful ad I should be.)

Absolutely! You should check with his orthodontist about adding fluoride or other tooth protective rinses - but even with plain water, this is great for braces because the powered liquid rinse goes places the braces prevent a brush from reaching.

I'm able to use it with some mini-implants and crowns. Sorry, I'm not sure about veneers but I'd imagine that if other commercial toothpastes is OK then this toothpaste would be fine.

I do not know - I would consult your dentist before using.However, if he uses regular cleaning compound to clean your teeth in his office, it should be ok very similar.

My dentist recommended this brand to me because I hade braces, and my mouth was stinking like shi.....I have been using this brand for quite long time. I don't see any sign of staining. As matter of fact, I find this brand more helpful than the others

I use it daily for cleaning along with Oral-B floss. It cleans your teeth well and gives them a freshly polished (just from the dentist) feeling that handheld toothbrushes cannot.
