I have 6 veneers and I recently switched to fluoide free toothpaste (Burts Bees and Tom's) and fluoride free water. I did this because of thyroid issues. Should I switch back to a fluoride toothpaste? Thank You
Answer: Veneers and fluoride toothpaste
Fluoride is actually very helpful in the situation with high risk adult patients. It helps to prevent root caries and we prescribe it very often to the patients with xerostomia (especially the drug-induced) and after multiple restorations and crowns, or full mouth rehabilitation. So, you definitely should continue with fluoride toothpaste.

Answer: fluoride is a good thing for veneers
As far as fluoride, I do not see how it can interfere with your thyroid as you are not swallowing the fluoride. But if you have to stay away from it, Just use a non abrasive tooth paste, a soft bristle tooth brush, and be very good with your home care and visit your dentist for professional cleaning every three months. I also recommend Sonicare, and a good quality water pick. You need to use mouth rinse.
