Since My Veneers Were Fitted I Have Been In Agony, Is This Normal?

Q.
I have had 15 veneers 8 top and 7 bottom and have been in fairly severe pain with the bottoms from the start in each tooth and this gets worse at night when I lie down although maybe this is because of extended time without pain relief…. it has been 4 weeks since the teeth were ground down for the temps and 2 weeks since the veneers were fitted and I cannot go a day without fairly heavy pain killer doses..I did have a tooth extracted on the bottom but the pain is not in this area..thanks in advance for any advice.
A.
It could be something to do with the nerves of the teeth you have had recently prepared for the veneers. I would ask your dentists to carry out some tests to determine the health and vitality status of the nerves. Root canals may be required in the worst case but it may just be some residual sensitivity which usually goes away.

It may also the temporary veneers not being sealed to the tooth adequately – this would not be as serious as either of the above.

Please ask your dentist to check things over as soon as you can.

Regards.
