Asked By:los angeles3933 in new york, ny

i just got a porcelain veneer on my front tooth beacuse it was chipped in half. When I go for my cleaning, can the dental hygienist clean the tooth like any other tooth? Can the hygienist polish the tooth and use the cavitron on it? Do I need to have the tooth polished if it has a veneer on it?
