Will Teeth Get Cavities After They Are Covered with Veneers?

May 14, 2010
Asked By:Laurencia in NYC

I am 34 y.o. and my teeth needed annual dental work ever since I was in preschool. I brush my teeth twice a day, floss after each meal, don't eat candy, and don't drink any soft drinks, but all my effort doesn't do a thing, because every year I get on average 2 cavities. So my question is since I already have my front teeth drilled several times, will I get cavities after I cover them with veneers? Is there better alternative for my drilled in and out teeth? Thanks.
