Hello!
You seem like the right person to turn to for an additional opinion... about a month ago my own dentist made veneers on my upper central incisors. She said they would be sensitive for some time, but now that more than a month has passed, both teeth still hurt when I bite. Is that normal? When I rub these two teeth with my finger, despite regular hygiene there is a strange smell on my finger (this never happened before). Could something have gone wrong, and could I make an appointment for an examination with you? I have heard that you are among the better professionals in this field...
Have a nice day!

Dear Sir/Madam!
Hypersensitivity of teeth to changes in temperature and osmotic pressure can persist for quite some time after cementation of a prosthetic restoration. Sensitivity of a tooth to biting or impact (touch), however, is probably a sign of more serious damage to the dental pulp and requires root canal treatment. The complication is relatively common with extensive procedures on teeth, which represent a certain trauma to the tooth and most often end in devitalization of the tooth. I believe your treating dentist will know how to solve the problem.
Have a nice day!
