I am sick of trying to tell my dentist that my veneers aren’t right. This is the 5th set of temporaries I’ve had and he can’t get it right. We had a heated discussion on my last visit and I told him to worry about seeing me again because the veneers are a mess. That was kind of silly of me because the veneers need to come off. I want to know if you can tell me how I can flick of these temporaries that were bonded on? Thanks. Joél M.

Joél – We strongly recommend that you not try to take off your temporary veneers. Your frustration in trying to get the smile you want with porcelain veneers is understandable, but don’t take matters into your own hands.

Self-attempts to remove the veneers can result in damage to your tooth enamel or to a tooth itself. Leave the job to a skilled cosmetic dentist, because he or she has the tools and knows the technique required to remove the mock-up veneers. But don’t just visit any dentist to have the veneers removed. Take the time to do some research and find a highly trained, accredited if possible, cosmetic dentist.

A cosmetic dentist has artistic inclination and personally designs smiles for each patient. You can ask friends for recommendations or search online for an accredited cosmetic dentist, or a dentist who is a long-time member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Schedule a few consultations, ask each dentist about his or her training and credentials in cosmetic dentistry, and ask to see before-and-after pictures of porcelain veneers cases fully completed by the dentist.

Taking the time to find the right dentist for you will help you get the temporary veneers comfortably and properly removed, and give you the beautiful smile you want with porcelain veneers.

Have you ever seen or heard of a dentist who doesn’t wear gloves when putting their hands in your mouth? My kids’ dentist doesn’t wear gloves for the exam. I don’t want his bare hands in their mouth. I have asked him twice to let me see him wash his hands when he comes in the office and to wear gloves but both times he acted like he didn’t hear me. Should I bring gloves for him to wear during my kids’ appointment? Thanks Theta

Theta – We suggest that you schedule an appointment to discuss your concern with the dentist—a time that is separate from your children’s appointments.

If you don’t receive a favorable response, you may have to consider finding another dentist for your children. Sanitary conditions are important to oral health—particularly in a dental office. Germs that the dentist and staff are not aware of can easily be transferred with oral contact. So your concern about the dentist not wearing gloves is quite valid.

If you decide to find another dentist, have a few consultations first. Take your children with you to the consultations to ensure they are comfortable with the office and staff, and ask specific questions about the sanitation standards in the office, as well as how exams are conducted.
