    Veneer Questions Ask The Dentist Corinne Scalzitti Question:
    Irritation, swelling and small bumps after veneers: I had six front porcelain veneers put in my upper front teeth.

    I have very much discomfort, irritation, swelling and seems like small bumps inside the upper lip. It is driving me crazy and I want to have them pulled out because of so much discomfort and swelling of inside of my upper lip.

    Could it be a allergic reaction to the cement? I don't know what to do and where to go.

    My dentist said it is not the veneers since they are glass and no one has allergies to glass, however it may be the cement. Please give me some advice as to what I can do. ...Visitor from CA

    Answer:
    Since I have not seen you or your condition, I am only guessing.

    My guess is that the nerves of the teeth under the veneers may have died. A dead, or necrotic, nerve would cause an infection (abscess) at the root of the tooth. This could be why you have the bumps. Is the swelling on your upper lip or on your gum above the teeth? Whatever the reason, it is time to seek another opinion, or maybe several.

    I have never seen anybody who is allergic to veneers or the cement, but I guess there could always be a first time.

    A good place to look for a dentist who has training and experience in cosmetic dentistry is www.lvismile.com. This will show you dentists who have been trained at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies. Look for somebody who has had many courses, not just one or two.

    I would advise against having the teeth removed, or this could be the beginning of bigger problems.
