my teeth are in pain after being shaved

Q. im getting porcelain veneers and my dentist has prepared my upper teeth(shaved back)ready for my implants and he has put a temporary in until the veneers arrive, but ive been in absolute pain for 2mths, voltarin takes the pain away, but why am i experiencing this pain its in my ears eyes and under my jaw? should i not be getting this done,but my dentist doesnt want to loose a 30 grand job!?and how long can you have a temporary in for? my upper temporary have been in for 2 mths, and my lower temp has been in for 6wks but my lower teeth have’nt been shaved back yet. Am really worried. any advice would be really great thankyou very much!!!!

A. Hi,

It is deeply worring that given the amount of money you have paid, you are not aware of the purpose of every step in your treatment. Whatever treatment the dentist performs, you should never be in pain beyond any initial discomfort, and to be so 2 months after any treatment is not right.

You can temporary veneers in for longer periods of time, depending on the purpose of the veneers, so that in itself should not be disconcerning to you.

To ease your concerns, i suggest you either book yourself in with your dentist and ask him to talk you through everything again, and find out why you are experiencing the pain you are. If you are not satisfied with the explanation, it is your right to ask for a second opinion.

I think your next step should be to speak to your dentist and express the depth of your concerns.
