My veneers are feeling very sensitive, but its been 5 years since they were done, any idea why my gums feel so weird?

Your veneers are not supposed to hurt; they are supposed to feel and function the same as your natural teeth.  If your veneers are hurting you and causing inflamed gums, then I suspect that they are not being properly maintained with 3 or 6 month dental check-ups and cleanings, daily flossing and three times daily brushing, and rinsing.  I would recommend going to any dentist near you to have your gums examined and treated.Veneers are what I do, so follow me if you have more specific questions.Sarah Thompson, DMD

Porcelain Veneers are not supposed to hurt. Usually they are prepared 1 or 2 mm below the gum. They need service as well, you can go for a deep cleaning, and this could help the bacteria that its getting stuck there, making your gums to feel sensitive.  Reach a periodontist and have a deep dental cleaning done. Your regular checkups are every 6 months.

Have you had your teeth checked and cleaned in the last six months.  Do you floss daily and brush at least three times a day?There can be many reasons why your teeth are sensitive, and why you have gum sensitivity.  This is the time to go back to your dentist, and have him check to see what is going on.  It could be your oral hygiene, any grinding or clenching habits, possibly some leakage around the veneers, general physical health issues (diabetes, medications, smoking, drugs), etc. I don't think any dentist could answer your question without examining you in person.  Return to your dentist.
