Can I be having allergic reaction to veneers? My dentist called these half-crowns.

Question

After having 4 veneers (half-crowns) my lips are burning, stinging, and itching and my tongue also burns, stings and swells. My 4 front teeth feel like they are covered with socks. There is a ridge along the back that is uncomfortable. I have bad taste. This is constant 24/7. It feels like an allergic reaction.

Sorry to hear that you are having such a time with the veneers that were placed by your dentist.  It is unclear whether you are having a true allergic reaction or not, but my best advice to you is to return to your dentist and have your mouth evaluated with some non-latex or powder-free latex gloves.  If your symptoms do not improve, consider making an appointment with your primary care physician.    Good luck and I hope this helps. Follow me if you have more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMD

After seeing your dentist, if you are not satisfied, get a second opinion. Sounds like there is more going on than an allergy to veneers. If this was recently done, you may be suffering from an allergy to latex, from the gloves. However, there shouldn't be any discernible ridge along the back of your teeth with veneers. Good luck.
