I have veneers on my upper front teeth. There was a crack in the back of one. The dentist drilled out the back a little and bonded the back of the tooth. The dentist said it would be sensitive for a couple days. Its been months now and anytime I eat something hard or hot it will swell up and get sore again. There is a oval red circle that looks like it has a hole in the middle directly behind my two front teeth. I got the dentist to check it but they said just put a calming gel on it and eat on the side of my mouth. Should I be concerned that its been months now and it never goes away or just have to be careful of the area for all time? The bump was not there before the procedure.
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have undergone veneering in tooth now you have swelling of gingival in that area, don't worry prosthesis has causing irritation in your gums now, Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day Wait for some time apply ointment Gum paint twice daily If won't get relief then consult your dentist and go for removal of prosthesis and go for new prosthesis Hope this will help you.
