Q. I recently (4 weeks ago) had a crown and veneer fitted on my front two top tooth for cosmetic reasons. The crown is fine and feels like a normal tooth but the veneer is painful whenever I bite into hard foods. It feels like a shooting pain from the pressure of biting into the food. I went back to my dentist and she said she didn’t know what was causing this but I’ve seen on the Internet it may now have to have a root canal treatment and a new veneer which I really cannot afford. It’s not to do with the bite alignment I don’t thin as that feels fine. Do you know why this might be happening and what might causing it?? Many thanks.,
