There\u2019s a wide range of treatments that can do just that. As you look at your options, you might see that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cochellfd.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\">veneers<\/a> can get rid of multiple flaws in your teeth at once. However, since they are bonded to the front of your grin, you might wonder if you\u2019ll have tooth sensitivity afterward. Here\u2019s what you should know about this transformative service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will Veneers Make My Teeth Sensitive?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, feeling a bit sensitive after getting your veneers placed is expected. It\u2019s often short-lived and easily managed, so it\u2019s not like you will have it for a long while! The reason this happens is because of the way your teeth were prepared for this service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get aesthetic results, a small amount of enamel will need to be removed. While this does ensure your smile looks seamless, it does expose the dentin underneath your enamel. This part of a tooth has channels that go down to the nerve. Anything hot or cold can trigger it, leading to the discomfort that you might be a bit worried about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can I Do to Ease Tooth Sensitivity After Veneer Placement?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As was mentioned above, sensitivity after veneer placement is normal and should go away in a few days after your treatment, but there are some ways you can get relief sooner. Here are simple tips to keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Brush with desensitizing toothpaste. This handy product has special ingredients that can block the channels in your dentin and remineralize your enamel. That way, your discomfort lessens over time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take over-the-counter medications to give you that boost you need to manage any hurting. Be sure to follow the instructions on the bottle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjust your diet to avoid hot, cold, acidic, and overly sweet foods and drinks. These are some that can cause discomfort, so try your best to avoid as much of it as you can.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, there\u2019s a slight chance that your sensitivity worsens or is persistent. This is often a sign of something more going on with your smile, so calling your dentist can help get to the bottom of it. Regardless, veneers are meant to give you a gorgeous grin, not make it hurt! While it will take some time to adjust, it\u2019s a short wait to get results you can show off confidently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cochellfd.com\/christel-cochell.html\">Dr. Christel Cochell<\/a> earned her dental degree from the OHSU in Portland.
