The odds of you losing a dental veneer<\/a> are pretty low if you take good care of them, but unfortunately, they\u2019re never zero. In stressful situations like these, it\u2019s nice to have some easy-to-remember guidance in your memory\u2019s back pocket. Introducing the three I\u2019s of veneer salvage: investigate, inspect, and involve. Keep them in mind, and you\u2019ll be prepared to handle this type of dental emergency<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Investigate the Area<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on how and where you lost your veneer, it might take some work to find it. However, taking a moment to investigate your surroundings is well worth it. If you manage to locate your dental cosmetic, your dentist might be able to simply reattach it to your tooth, saving you time and money on a completely new veneer. Of course, this means you should store your wayward veneer in a safe container and make sure you remember to bring it to your appointment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Inspect Your Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if you\u2019re pretty sure you haven\u2019t damaged any other teeth or suffered any oral injuries, it\u2019s always a good idea to inspect your mouth after an accident. You may need to remove leftover veneer adhesive or debris with warm water and a soft bristled toothbrush, and any bleeding should be stopped with a damp cloth. If bleeding continues for more than 10 minutes, stop what you\u2019re doing and go to the ER for stitches!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Involve Your Emergency Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now it\u2019s time to get your emergency dentist involved with the situation. Technically, a lost veneer is considered a dental emergency because the tooth underneath will be exposed until you can get repairs or a replacement. Describe the state of your veneer in detail and be sure to mention any dental or facial injuries. That way, your emergency dentist can get you scheduled for a timely appointment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the time, losing a veneer is primarily a cosmetic issue, but that doesn\u2019t make it any less alarming or bothersome. Fortunately, as long as you follow the three I\u2019s, you should be in good shape! If all else fails, don\u2019t hesitate to let your dentist know you\u2019re feeling stressed and confused. They\u2019ll gladly give you next-step guidance over the phone and make sure you\u2019re taken care of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
