<human>: Hi I m 19 yrs female and I have had veneers on two if my teeth for about a year now. Two months ago the veneer where my tooth was shaven down started hurting. I would get up at night in pain. I thought my gums probably were receding due to excessive over brushing so I started using garlic to kill any bacteria and to seal the gum line. Now my gums look like they re peeling. They look blistered. I think it s due to the garlic and constantly placing it on the gum above the tooth. There is no pain throbbing on and off but my gums look terrible.
<bot>: Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, i would like to inform you that when veneers are placed, oral hygiene maintenance is very important, in your case it seems, gums are inflamed and are receding. I recommend use of antibacterial mouth wash(2 times/day), kindly see your dentist soon to avoid infection from spreading to the adjacent tissues, avoid applying garlic or any other topical agent until prescribed by a doctor.I hope I answered your query.I wish you good health.
