Which toothpaste should you use if you have dental veneers

The short answer: if you have dental veneers, choose a low-abrasive toothpaste without peroxide or harsh abrasive particles, and use a soft or sonic toothbrush with gentle pressure.

Why toothpaste matters for veneers

Ceramic and composite veneers have a surface glaze created in the dental laboratory. A toothpaste that is too abrasive can scratch this layer over time, making veneers look dull and more prone to staining. The same applies to the enamel of natural teeth.

What RDA means and which value to look for

RDA (Relative Dentin Abrasivity) shows how abrasive a toothpaste is and is measured according to ISO 11609. The maximum value accepted by the standard is 250. The lower the value, the less the toothpaste wears down the surface of teeth and veneers. PRANOYA toothpaste has an RDA of 104.

Ingredients to avoid

  • Peroxides and aggressive whitening toothpastes: they do not whiten veneers but can damage their shine.
  • Large abrasive particles, for example in some charcoal toothpastes.
  • Toothpastes with no declared RDA value, because you cannot know how abrasive they are.

Recommended daily routine

  1. Brush twice a day for 2 minutes with a soft or sonic toothbrush.
  2. Use dental floss or an oral irrigator once a day to clean the edges of the veneers.
  3. Have regular check-ups with your dentist.
