Bad taste under new porcelain veneers?

Question

I recently had 10 porcelain veneers placed on my top teeth about three weeks ago. For the past week or two I've had a bad taste coming from the front left eye tooth area of the veneers. I'm brushing 3 x a day and flossing twice a day with a mouthwash routine. This isn't an issue of cleanliness. I also don't believe my teeth all the sudden started rotting once the veneers were placed but all I taste is rot and almost as if I can suck it out of the tooth as I let saliva build in my mouth.

There are a few reasons off the bat that come to mind that can contribute to the bad taste following your veneer placment1) excess cement is not allowing for proper debridement of plaque and food between your teeth leading to a bad odor and taste2) veneers were not bonded fully and space and seepage is present behind the veneers3) infection present Please consult with your doctor to evaluate

hello
This should not happen after placement of the veneers.  I am sure there is another underlying issue. Are you able to floss the veneers?  Have you been back to your dentist and discussed the issue ?  Sometimes it could be as easy as your dentist removing extra cement and creating the space for you to floss easily. Make sure you call your dentist and explain the situation. Good luck.
