Allergy to composite resin

[heavencanwait]

Has anyone ever experienced a systemic allergy to composite fillings?  Since I had all my mercury fillings removed (by a qualified specialist) and only when I started refilling the teeth with composite resins did I begin to experience itching (a feeling coming from the inside, out).  I had temporary fillings before the permanent ones and those were fine.  When I first had the composite fillings applied, I experienced some sensitivity in certain teeth which my dentist redid and used a protective layer before refilling the teeth.  For about 3 months now I've had to take an antihistamine tablet every other day because the itching keeps returning.  I have ruled out food, chemical and environmental allergies and have been told by a gynecologist that this type of allergy is not due to hormones.  I've asked my dentist if there is any test I can do but he doesn't know of any and I am considering consulting an allergist but I would like to know if anyone out there has ever experienced this and what you've done.

The allergy could be from another source but it seems too coincidental that the itching first appeared after placing the composite resin fillings.

HELP!!

Hi, welcome to my world.  I am also allergic to acrylates,  formaldehyde resin and DHP.  Every single day is affected via, foundation shampoo moisturizer eye cream sun lotion nail polish and the list goes on and on.

The only toothpaste I can use is Kingfisher, the red box one.  Nail polish is now Nubar.  If you want to know anything more abt products please contact me.  For the past 3 years life is now different with every single thing I use on my body.  

I also had my mercury  fillings removed also when I have a filling my dentist not only uses a white filling but leaves something out that I am allergic to.  Each side of my tongue is awful to see.  Please see a dermatologist and she will patch test you and give you a print out of what you are allergic to.

My list is endless.

Prior to that I could use absolutely anything.

To everyone who is reading this message Please ask your dentists which material did they use or are going to use.

Mine was Filtek Z250.

I'm barely alive.

Filtek Z250 is fine, pretty descent composite. After cured almost inert.  The question is what adhesive they put. Was you composite properly cured? Adhesives used to bond composite fillings are way more toxic than composite fillings.

And here I am again. After 2 years of suffering I finally removed the veneers.

The first few days after the procedure were just a nightmare for me (nausea, dizziness, headache and the rest of my existing symptoms).
I'm still feeling horrible, but my saliva is not yellow anymore in the morning (I'm not a smoker) and the stickiness has been reduced a little bit.

The thing is that composite resin cannot be cleaned completely because it blends with tooth enamel. So I still have this **** in my mouth!

I just don't get it why dentists do not provide us with more information about the risks of having composite veneers???

[LeonAbramovich]

composite does not blend with enamel. I suggest you veneers were glued on adhesive and that adhesive is the case.

Your article should be on the Front headline of every newspaper in the
United States for the world to see. This plastic crap and whatever go's with it is causing way to much harm to be legal to use. This Kind Of Filling Should be Outlawed.

Look on the internet a story about the Actor **** Van dike I think it was him
he had Implant's in his mouth for many years Then he had them removed
I do think that is how his story went. You have my sympathy Do not know if this is the cause of your problem but i do know you are in much discomfort.
I am pretty much through with any root canals or the white plastic filling's and
Definitely an implant. It might work for some but they are welcome to it.

I would use your teeth till the end and pull after avoiding all fillings. Dentures are much safer options. I messed up with two fillings and not going to put more. First one was amalgam and replaced with composite and it was ok. Second composite i removed and have no filling on one tooth  now, hurt, but better than being poisoned by scotch bond universal.

Dentures and partials are also made from composite resin materials.
