Sore mouth and jaw, lips peeling after veneer prep

aab731Nov 6, 2017
I had my teeth prepped 3 days ago for veneers. The day after the procedure my bottom jaw and lip were extremely swollen and still swollen today. The dentist said he had to give me extra shots (I was sedated). Now the inside of my mouth is peeling and I have mouth ulcers. It's extremely sensitive and sore all over. Is this normal?
