Red And Inflammed Gums Around The Margin After Having Veneer Done. What Could Be Wrong?
I had a veneer done on tooth #10 and my gum around the margin has been red and inflammed ever since. It has been almost 5 months and it does not seem to be getting any better. My dentist said there may be some cement still left under the gum. I have recently moved to a different state so I can not return to my original dentist. He also said for me to try wearing a nite guard.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you have mentioned that you have undergone veenering and now you are experiencing inflammation of gums, then it can be possible that some cement must have left below the gums you should visit your nearby dentist to get it removed.
If the inflammation still remains then it can be allergy to the cement for which you have to get the veenering redone.
