What Causes Tooth Pain After A Laser Gum Contouring Session?
Question: I've had eight veneers done on my upper teeth following a laser gum contouring session
- now i'm getting pain on one of them when i eat and when i press on it with my finger. Is the tooth's nerve dying?
- I'm having red gums on the edge but no necessary pain. What is the solution for this? I take really good care of my teeth and gums (brushing correctly with a high tech ISSA silicon toothbrush, use water and salt for mouthwash)
- one of the frontal teeth has black patches because of the inconsistent thickness of the veneer. Does that increase risk of it breaking?
- shouldn't i be allowed to ask for a remake since all of these problems have occurred?

Brief Answer:
Deeply carious tooth; periodontal problem
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing in. I have gone through the images.
As per your history there could be two possibilities:-
- deeply carious tooth involving pulp which require Root Canal Treatment
- periodontal problem due to food lodgement causing inflammation in that area require cleaning of that region & removal of pocket.
Regarding blackening of front tooth you need to visit your dentist & ask him to reevaluate your veenering.
Hope I answered your query
Wishing you good health
