all about pain after dental laminate and necessary care

Pain after tooth lamination is usually due to tooth enamel grinding and pulp irritation from pressure. Bonding and temperature changes occur. In the following, we will talk more about the pain after dental lamination.

The reason for pain after dental lamination

Pain after dental lamination is a relatively common phenomenon and in most cases it is transient. Pain after dental lamination can have different origins, the correct identification of which helps in faster and more accurate management.

• Tooth enamel scraper

The main cause of pain after dental lamination is the chipping of part of the tooth enamel during the preparation stage. This cutting is done to create a suitable space for laminate installation, it leads to irritation of the underlying layers and sensitizing of the nerves. The amount of pain is usually related to the amount and depth of the incision; The wider the incision, the greater the possibility of short-term pain.

• Preparations and side treatments

In some patients with deep caries, surface fracture, calculus or plaque, corrective treatments (such as scaling, restoration or even gum surgery) are performed before installing laminate. It can cause pain after lamination of mild teeth with short-term survival.

• Teeth sensitivity after installation

After the installation of the laminate, the feeling of dental sensitivity to food or hot and cold drinks is completely normal and occurs due to the reaction of the internal tissues to the structural changes. This sensitivity often appears in the form of intermittent shooting when consuming cold or hot substances and gradually decreases over a few days to a week.

• Non-standard installation or mismatch of covers

If the laminate is not installed carefully and evenly, the inconsistency of the height or form of the veneer with the opposite teeth will lead to abnormal pressure during chewing and severe pain. Even a slight gap between the coating and the gum can cause food residues to get stuck and plaque accumulation, and ultimately pain and inflammation.

• Sudden pressure or physical damage after installation

Chewing very hard food, accidentally hitting the mouth, or inappropriate habits such as teeth grinding during sleep causes tension in the teeth and induces pain.

Control and pain reduction after dental lamination

To control pain and reduce sensitivity after laminate, taking non-prescription pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen is effective in the first days. Also, using hypoallergenic toothpaste, alcohol-free mouthwash, and avoiding very hot or cold drinks and foods will help reduce irritation. Avoiding chewing hard foods such as ice and nuts in the first 48 hours and regular mouth washing with lukewarm water are also recommended. In case of persistent pain or swelling and bleeding, contact your dentist immediately for further examination and treatment.

The difference between normal and abnormal pain after dental lamination

The correct distinction between these two types of pain is vital to prevent serious complications:

Natural pain

• Mild to moderate, mostly manifested as sensitivity to cold, heat or hard food.
• Mostly seen in the first few days after installation.
• It is usually improving and its severity is easily controlled with common pain relievers (such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen).
• When consuming soft food, it is tolerable.
• When brushing or flossing, there may be some discomfort, but there is a gradual improvement process.

Disturbing pain (abnormal)

• Severe and persistent pain that not only does not decrease after a few days, but also intensifies.
• The pain is accompanied by gingival inflammation, swelling, bleeding gums, bad breath, or fever 6.
• Pain when chewing, biting or touching the tooth appears as a throbbing or shooting abnormality.
• If only one tooth hurts repeatedly or with unusual intensity or symptoms such as cracking, shifting or loosening of the laminate are observed.
• Continuation of pain for more than two weeks, or pain accompanied by infection (abscess or formation of gum infection) definitely suggests the need for immediate follow-up by a dentist.
