Veneer grinding usually does not cause toothache or only mild pain because the grinding is done with cooling water to cool down the tooth and there will be less irritation to the pulp. If there is persistent pain after veneer grinding, the pulp may be stimulated, causing pulpitis, and the pain may last for 3~7 days, or 7~15 days, or even longer.
1. Pulpitis is an inflammatory lesion that occurs in the pulp of the tooth and is mainly characterized by tooth pain. Pulpitis requires active treatment by a doctor, and the treatment is divided into methods of preserving the pulp and methods of preserving the affected tooth. Pulp preservation methods are pulp capping and pulpotomy, but are limited to young permanent teeth and reproducible pulpitis. The main treatment for generalized pulpitis is root canal therapy.
2. If the patient with pulpitis actively accepts the doctor’s treatment, the symptoms of pain will disappear, although the duration of pain will vary depending on the severity of the patient’s condition, and the pain may last for 3~7 days, or 7~15 days, or even longer.
