Veneers Ask The Dentist Corinne Scalzitti

Question:
When I was sixteen I had three of my front teeth broken (trauma), and temporarily fixed.

6 years later I had veneers put on the four of my front top teeth. I know have abscesses in all four front teeth, but the abscess is draining. The doctor said I will be needing root canals. This is very very very expensive.

Is it common to need root canals after having veneers placed? Should I have been warned? Is it crucial to my health to go get it taken care of? I think I had an abscess in one tooth for the 6 years. ...Visitor from TX

Answer:
I think that the abscesses are probably from the trauma to the teeth, not necessarily from the veneers.

Yes, you do need to have the root canals done. Besides compromising the teeth and eroding the bone around them, having an active infection in your body can cause a lot of trouble.

You might ask if your dentist has financing options.
