can lumineers cause smelly gums halitosis and gum disease is this true? how can i prevent it?

Q. I have been using Crest Pro-Health mouthwash for a month. I have noticed bad brown stains on my teeth. Yesterday, I had Lumineers placed on top of my stained teeth, not realizing that Crest Pro-health was causing this problem until I read a blog of others having the same problem. I have also used this mouthwash, today, the day after getting my Lumineers. Is it going to stain the Lumineers,or is it okay to use with the lumineers? My concern is, since I have gotten Lumineers placed on top of the brown teeth instead of getting the stains removed first, will my real teeth become damaged underneath. What do you suggest I do? Also, please tell me how does the natural teeth underneath the lumineers stay healthy? I have been reading horror stories that Lumineers can cause smelly gums, halitosis, and gum disease…Is this true? How can you prevent these problems if you now have lumineers?

A. If you look after your lumineers they should stay healthy.  I would stop using this mouthwash and use a regular one such as Dentyl.
