Terrible bleeding and inflammation from 6 veneers. What can be causing this?

Question

I recently got 6 veneers and now have terrible bleeding when I floss them and my gums are inflamed, especially behind my teeth. My dentist suggested I might need my bone shaved down. Could there possibly be another reason for the bleeding and inflammation?

Ruben Mateo, DDS · Answer

In this type of case, a series of situations may be happening, all related to the gums.
When the gum limit is passed with the material of the veneers or with the cement, this may occur.
you should go to your doctor again or a second opinion.

Hi:There could be multiple reasons for inflamation of the gums.  It is difficult to know without xrays, and clinical exam.  On easy solution that you might want to try is to rinse your mouth with Lumineux Oral Essentials Clean and Fresh mouthwash twice a day to see if the bleeding and inflamation goes away.Best,Dr. Maddahi

If you had a gum cut and the procedure is recent you should wait until the swelling and inflammation disappear at the most five days.If the symptoms continue after this time, it is necessary for your dentist to investigate the cause of this bleeding, either through a scan to detect the cause.
