Titanium Dental implant

I had a titanium dental implant over a year ago and now suffer from dermatitis around my mouth witch has spread to my chin, and eczema on my hands and know in my nose!  I have muscle aches and suffer from fatigue. I had a blood test done through the Melisa Institute and showed a 3.50 in sensitivity to titanium trichloride, the recommendation is to have the metal removed, except no one wants to touch it, because it is a front tooth!  I am 39yrs. old and recently married and wanted to start a family but for one thing do not physically feel well enough and am afraid of the effects this allergy could have an a child, I know MS and Autism are linked to this metal allergy!  If we can clone animals how come I can't find an oral surgen willing to remove my implant!!!!  Any suggestions Am am so tired and frustrated!

How are you feeling now, after having three implants taken out ?

Dear Doctor,
      Since the movement of the implant can cause a reaction, could this be solved by leaving in the implant and removing the abutment (installing the healing cap back on) and going with a partial plate?
      I am having allergic type symptoms but do not want to go through with the pain of having my implants removed.

I will share my research. I have a fractured molar. After reading everyone's experiences with metal implants, I would not have one even if I was paid. I found Bioimplant.at in Vienna, Austria. I plan to have their implant asap. Thank you all for saving us from an enormous mistake. I plan to check the cement used with their zirconium implants. Now to check if zirconium is allergenic. Almost did a couple mini implants, but you good people saved me. You are the honest ones. In the extreme. All the best to you and yours, Erol Baybura Michigan/Hawaii

I have taken an appointment for removing my implant, once I started getting rashes.  I have used so much steroid, and rashes would come back.  Now I am taking the implant out and I do not know if it is OK.

Please note that doctors all say not related to implant and coincidental, same as what my surgeon told me when I developed tinnitus 3 weeks after the implant. 7 weeks after the implant I have now developed joint pain in my hips in addition to tinnitus. Everyone needs to report their symptoms to the FDA, otherwise this is brushed aside. I expect to have my one implant removed. I can use a flipper, better than creating serious health issues over a missing tooth.

Also, see the research that fluoride corrodes titanium. Plenty of research on this.

Yes, I would like the name of your surgeon who took out your dental implant. I developed ringing in my ears, tinnitus, about 3 weeks after my surgery. Now, 6 weeks after having the titanium dental implant put in the ringing is non-stop. I think I need to have the implant out. I don't want more problems later. I don't want to live with tinnitus if I don't have to. Nightmare.
