Hi Folks,
I have had 8 root canals over the years due to my excessive night grinding. My dentist advised that I go for veneers on all my teeth as they were worn down and to avoid further root canals. In January 2017 he started the procedure and my life has not been the same. The first sitting took 5 hours as he ground the top set and put temporary veneers. Every time I reacted badly to the injections in the sense I had palpitations and next day could not get out of bed with extreme weakness. Every session was a minimum of 3-4 hours with around 10 injections. Finally in April the permanent veneers were put. (In Feb I had to take a 3 week break from treatment as I got H1N1) . The top veneers gave no problems but the bottom ones have caused terrible sensitivity. Both my dentist and orthodontist insisted it was all fine and would settle. It never did. Around 1 week back two teeth in the bottom left (pre-molars) erupted in pain and I had to undergo extremely painful root canals. Now, even the top teeth are sensitive as well as all the root canal teeth. This has driven me insane and I am considering pulling out all my teeth especially as my dentist wants to do more root canals on the top teeth. Before the veneers I could eat well and had no sensitivity. Please help as my dentists swear all is well and ask me to 'calm down' 'take a painkiller' etc. Not interested in suppressing sensitivity but finding out the root cause. Please help as I am unable to have a normal life. Thank you
