Dental allergy?
Posted , 16 users are following.
Around five months ago now, I had dental work done. It was a composite filling, The moment the filling was placed, Something felt wrong, I had this strong burning pain in my face. Told the dentist but nothing was done about that, I went home and my cheek felt itchy and my eyelid on that side felt really itchy and it swelled, The next day I felt ill and noticed the gland in the right side of my neck swelled up, So phoned the dentist and went back. They checked and said they could see nothing wrong so consult my doctor. I had also noticed this strange chemical taste from the tooth which made it difficult for me to swallow. I became extremely ill over the first month, My neck tenced up extremely bad and I began having burning pain in my arms and tensed tendons, My stomach hurt like you wouldnt believe, I constantly felt like I wanted th throw up and the stomach felt like it was very much on fire, This went down into my intestines as well, My stomach and intestines also swelled up and I had constant gas for near two months or perhaps it was a bit long. So.. Here I am 5 months later. I have a constant throbbing in both teeth, Strange chemical taste at times that bothers my throat if I swallow it. All around my eyes are black and swell throughout the day, Arms and legs have these nerve twitches that happen quite often, I also have those in my face lately and alot of burning sensation throughout my body as well as itching, On the topic of stomach and intestines, I wont go too into unless someone asks I suppose, Vision has been blurry lately. And I know the first thing someone might say is it sounds like poisoning! Well within the five months I have been to the hospital atleast 9 times trying to figure out just what is going on with my body since the fillings. Nobody has had an answer for me. I have been to another dentist for a second opinion, First said it sounds like poisoning but realised no metal is in my mouth so said could be allergy but they are still not too sure. Even the Dental Pathologist I have been to see twice cant seem to figure out what is going on really. I also notice my mouth felt very hot for a long time, Eventually the gums swelled and became very red and now they are receeding extremely, A dentist I recently saw said it looks like gingvitis which doesnt make much sense as my mouth was healthy before all this, I am extremely afraid at this point to have anything done. I dont know what will happen. Also to note my lower teeth. Whatever is leaking from the top teeth got into two small cavities on lower teeth and very quickly they became huge cavities and it felt like whatever leaked into them caused irritation and then spread throughout the lower jaw. Any other info at all that someone might need do ask. I also at one point could not eat, Eating caused me extreme stomach pain so I ended up dropped down to 102lbs! I could not stant up or sit up without assistance. Could a systemic allergy cause things like this over the course of months as it is constant or might it be something far more serious that is not being detected? All I seem to do anymore is just sit in my room and cry. I really just dont know what to do anymore. Nobody can seem to help me but I cannot live like this. Any information would be welcome or any course of action I should take that I am just not thinking of would also be welcome. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read and/or reply.

James,
I think you are allergic to the plastic component, the methacrylates and so on in your composite filling. There are peer-reviewed scientific articles written about their toxicity. After I had my silver fillings replaced with them, I had neck/cheek rashes and swelling just under my jaw ever since. That was 9 years ago. I saw a doc and an ENT. I know my body. My dentist is mean to me and says because the tissue in my mouth (mucosa etc) surrounding the filled teeth is healthy looking, that it must be something else. Yet the articles say the most common symptoms are skin rashes and inflammation (not in the mouth). He doesn't believe me. I am going to get a gold foil filling (most biocompatible) as soon as possilble. I'm replacing one filling with the gold (I only have 3 fillings). I'll let you know how it works. If you google composite filing and allergy you can find a lot of people who have similar reactions to ours. Sometimes the swellling makes it hard for me to breathe and i feel like i'm affected psych-socially. In fact the articles say kids with composites tested for psychosocial issues while those with silver fillings didn't.
How are you doing btw? Any new things to report? Did you have an extraction?
Take care. I really feel for you.

Hi allie.
Sorry for all you've gone through
Worth mentioning metals and glues can cause the same, not only plastics.
Patch testing would be the way to go to finding out. And removal (although if it's something like systemic nickel allergy be aware there is nickel in medical equipment such as needles, scalpels, prongs, etc.)
Give us an update when you can James468,we were just thinking of you last month but couldn't find the post.

James468, Your symptoms sound just like mine! I had an immediate reaction to my white plastic fillings after my dentist said she was going to replace my perfectly fine silver fillings. My mouth immediately started burning and canker sores have been in my mouth since that dreadful day! Almost 5 years ago! I went to get patch tested after waiting for years to get it. I discovered I'm allergic to the fillings! Balsam of Peru!! BOP- short for Balsam of Peru, is the allergy I was told I have. Well, the fillings are made with BOP! If you google this allergy, you'll find it is in everything!! I wasn't allergic to anything until that day! I believe that these fillings have destroyed my mouth and made me constantly allergic to this allergic!
Please go get this checked! I think these new fillings are poisoning our bodies!
I am researching it now, but hope to find a viable solution.
good luck! Avoid foods with Balsam of Peru. If you see a change within three weeks of being on a strict diet of NO BOP, you know that is the cause!! It takes a while, so be patient.

Are you ok, dear James?
I'm going through the very same hardship. No one is there to help.
I hope you're ok by now.

Pine allergies SUCK. I ended up with a mouth full of hives after getting a small "sealer" applied to a sensitive tooth. If you are near Ottawa get a referral to see DR Michelle Pratt at the Parkdale clinic, Ottawa Hospital. She is fantastic, does patch testing and you will know within a week exactly what chemicals you are allergic to and that might pin point what is making you sick. Pine aka Rosin or Resin or Balsam of Peru is a bugger! I'm at the point where i'm terrified to see a dentist or i'm just going to have them pulled when I have an issue because i'm so allergic to the stuff. This is a great sheet to help avoid it. https://www.dermnetnz.org/topics/rosin-allergy/

Dear James I hope you are Ok by now; I had a very similar experience because of fillings; the White Composite fillings are very Toxic and contain BPA, as well as many other Toxic Substances; they might even Contain some kind of Metal, I'm not sure;
you have to have all the teeth with fillings extracted, because this filling causes Systematic disease of the entire bodies skeletal structure; the body can only heal when there are no teeth with fillings in your mouth; it's as Toxic and dangerous as Silver fillings with Mercury; these fillings are poisoning people and no one is saying anything; I also recommend Oil Pulling and Water Pulling your teeth with Salt Daily and buying a product called Oral Plus for your Teeth and Gums; it's available on Amazon.

Fran,
i have just discovered that the fillings have a hardener component in it that is related to Balsam of Peru (BOP) . I am allergic to it. It is in hundreds of spices, as an agent to keep them from caking up. And in lots of foods and sauces. I'm currently having my filling refilled with silver! The original filling was replaced with the white fillings. Within five minutes, I had a reaction!!

I have never heard of BOP before; I will Google it to find out more;
I have had ALL teeth with fillings extracted and I got metal and BPA- free implants for the missing teeth; you will only heal and feel better if you have those teeth with fillings extracted; biological Dentists now say that infection continues under the fillings
