Can A Chipped Piece Of Veneer Cause Pain At My Two Upper Front Teeth?

Posted on Sun, 6 Oct 2024

Question: I have veneers on my two upper front tooth. I bit on a cereal in a bag of popcorn. I can feel with my tough that there is a chip at the very bottom of the tooth. I will see on Monday how soon I can be seen by a dentist.. I am hoping it is just a need to add veneer, but it hurts. Can just a chipped piece of veneer cause pain?

Brief Answer:
Please sent a pic of the chipped tooth

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

There is nothing much to be worried. I must ask you whether it is chipped veneer or is there a chip of tooth structure (as you are telling it hurts). Can you please sent a pic of the teeth ? Then we can reach a better conclusion. If only veneer is chipped off then we can add to the veneer or at the most a new veneer has to be fabricated.

Hope you understood what I meant. Waiting for your reply. Thank you and have a healthy day.

Regards,
Dr. Rohit
