However, while veneers are normally very well-tolerated, some patients experience temporary sensitivity after getting them. Here\u2019s a little more about why this happens and how you can ensure that you\u2019re prepared to manage it comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do Veneers Cause Temporary Sensitivity?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting veneers involves removing a very thin layer of enamel from your teeth, so that when the veneers are placed, they lie flush and blend in seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. As a result, mild, temporary sensitivity is normal after your veneers are placed, especially when you eat or drink something hot or cold. However, this sensation typically fades as your teeth adjust to the veneers\u2014most patients experience sensitivity for a few days to a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also possible for an improper bite pattern to cause irritation and sensitivity after receiving veneers; if this problem doesn\u2019t improve on its own, don\u2019t hesitate to speak with your dentist so that your veneers can be adjusted. You should also speak with them if your veneers feel loose or uneven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Easing Sensitivity After Getting Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can help to reduce sensitivity and keep your teeth comfortable by following a few simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Avoid very hot or very cold foods and drinks for a few days to give your teeth time to adjust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be extra gentle whenever you\u2019re brushing and avoid aggressive scrubbing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steer clear of extra-hard or crunchy foods, since the excess pressure caused by biting into them can trigger sensitivity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider using toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth; your dentist should be able to recommend one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol or ibuprofen as directed on the label.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, healthy teeth and gums also help to support your veneers in the long run and minimize sensitivity, so be sure you\u2019re keeping up with your oral hygiene. In any case, it\u2019s not a side-effect you\u2019ll have to worry about for very long, and it\u2019s still very worthwhile when you consider just how transformative veneers can be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the leadership of the talented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jasondds.net\/meet-dr-daaboul.html\">Dr. Jason Daaboul<\/a>, our team has proudly served the needs of patients and families in Grapevine and the surrounding DFW metroplex for several years, offering a wide range of preventive, restorative, and cosmetic treatments, including solutions like veneers.
