I knocked my front tooth out about 7 years ago, after having alot of dental work such as root treatment, braces etc i finally got a veneer fitted almost a year ago now and the last month or so i have had really inflammed gums above the tooth of the veneer and it almost looks cut, it isnt painful but it does smell really bad and the veneer also looks like it slowly starting to slip down my tooth, has anyone got any advice?
