Allergy to composite resin
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!!

Composite resin after polymerization become quite inert. It leaches some monomers and stuff used for polymerization like initiator, UV stabilizer and inhibitor. right after placement. However with time it becomes less and less toxic and more biocompatible. It should not burn tongue for sure, at least composites with proper fillers. Some composites have ytterbium fluoride and barium glass as fillers, however ions of that materials not likely to cause burning.
The problem here is SELF ETCHED BONDING AGENTS. They usually used to etch teeth and glue composite to teeth. Even removal of composite filling does not remove all symptoms. Because etching agent still remains in tooth tubules it forms hybrid layer and impossible to see by eye.
I have same issue when doctor put overdose of self etching bonding agent and composite on top. After they removed all composite. i still have symptoms, later they also removed some tooth structure under composite filling and i felt reliefe, but still not full. For now two months already gone, i am walking with broken tooth without filling and almost all burning gone. I asked to pull tooth, but many clinics refuse.
I have another composite filling placed before and I had no issues with it. We need to figure out what bonding agents can be safely used and which should never be used. unfortunatly this is dark area and many doctors do not know themselves.
Conclusion. Do not put more than one filling per one visit. Wait for few week after placement to be sure everything is ok, to put next one with same doctor and materials. Do bio compatibility test for each material doctor will use on your tooth.

I have had unsafely removed my amalgams and replaced by composite resins, since them I developed a burning in my mouth which radiates to my throat, brain and chest. I also developed numerous health issues such as itchy skin, heart palpitations, TMJ, loss of memory, depression and the list goes on. This was in 2014 , we in 2020 and I am still searching and looking for answers, I am also contemplating removing at least 5 of my teeth since I am really sick and tired of this burning mouth and constant health issues. I need to inquire whether or not you have gotten your issue resolved and what is it like today with your health.

I had one amalgam replaced by composite, feel relieve after from toxic mercury. My wife have 5 composite filling and no issues. I put second composite filling and got intoxication with burning mouth. My wife did filling in same clinic with same doctor and same composite with same doctor and no issues. The difference was she put filling on molar in hole, I put as front restoration. I suggest bonding agents were different and amount of bonding agent too.
Hi my name is Caroline.
I know this question is a bit dated, but I want to offer some suggestions and advice based on my own personal experience. Hopefully this post will save some people some unnecessary pain, suffering and frustration. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and after doing some research I believed that my symptoms were caused by my silver amalgam fillings which contain mercury. I went to a biological dentist, he submitted out an individual biocompatibility report to be done for me. he did a protective amalgam removal on me and used dental resin that was biocompatible to me. I also had chelation therapy done. My symptoms all went away. Now you may be wondering what this has to do with this question. Here is the second part to this.
I lost my dental insurance so to save money I went to a dental school to get some composite fillings for some cavities I had. Stupid me, not checking my biocompatibility report went and had the cavities filled believing that all dental resins are the same. I found out the hard way that's not the case at all! There is at least a hundred different kinds! After I had the cavities filled with the resin, almost immediately I started having MS symptoms again. I called the student doctor and made him tell me the exact composite resin that he used on me. Turns out it was one of the materials that I'm highly reactive and allergic to.
So this is my advice to anybody having problems like this. If you suspect that you are having an allergic reaction to the composite resin used for your fillings, contact your dentist and let the dentist know that you are having problems. Make the dentist tell you what the exact composite material that was used on you. After getting that information, you should get an individual biocompatibility report for dental materials done on yourself.
Now, it is my experience that the average Joe dentist doesn't have a clue what an individual biocompatibility report is. In fact you may be educating your dentist on what one is. If your dentist isn't very open minded, you may be marginalized and made to you feel like you are a hypochondriac if your dentist is not in the know. Or even worse, the dentist is in the know but protecting themselves from liability.
Unfortunately, we are the minority when it comes to having issues with dental materials. The majority of people can use these materials and not have a problem whatsoever. If you find out your dentist is not very open minded, if you can afford it, go to a biological dentist and ask the dentist to submit out an individual biocompatibility report for you. Based on that, they can find out what composite resins will be the least reactive to you on an individual basis.
If for whatever reason you are unable to keep seeing a biological dentist, just bring a copy of your biocompatibility report to your Average Joe dentist whenever you are getting, whether that be, a filling, a bridge, a crown, whatever and make sure they don't use any materials that are reactive to you.
It is my experience that because we are the minority when it comes to this problem that we have to be extremely assertive and be our own health advocate. If the wrong materials are used, it can adversely affect your health on an extreme level.
If you live in the United States and you are wanting on your own accord to get a biocompatibility report, you can contact Biocomp Laboratories Incorporated.

Composite filling is a complex system. They also put etching component, bonding agent, primer or just universal self etching bonding agent. How much they put bond and were it matters a lot. thickness of composite layer, curing time and distance to light everything matters.

I've been through some very difficult times since March 2017, and have been desperately searching for answers. Back in March I had a dentist appointment where I had 3-5 fillings done (both sides on the top row of teeth). A few days or maybe about a week after the appointment my tongue started to feel swollen on the back right. I then started to constantly have dead skin in my mouth all the time. One day about a month after the appointment, my tongue turned yellow/orange. They thought I had a yeast infection which turned out to be negative when I had it cultured, and the Nystatin rinse and Clotrimazole lozenges I took did nothing. Starting in Late April/Early May, my tongue started to get a burning sensation and my throat was sore on the right side (still is a little bit). After about a month or month and a half the tongue burning dissipated and the swollen feeling did a bit as well. It is now the end of July and I've been seeing several ENTs, PCPs, Dentists, and an Allergy Doctor for the past couple of months. I had some patch testing done and just finished it today and got my results back. I finally have an answer. It turns out that I have Allergic Contact Dermatitis to Acrylates (particularly whatever Acrylates are contained in "OptiBond Solo Plus" adhesive). My allergy doc says once the monomers in the acrylates in my mouth bond to form polymers, I will no longer have any reaction. I am starting a prednisolone regiment for the next month (15mg/5mL). I asked if I could just get them drilled out, and he said yes I may be able to, but that could spark a reaction as the adhesive would get loose in my mouth. I think I will leave them in and see if I get better. It is feeling "mostly" back to normal now after nearly 5 months. I hope this post helps someone, as I know I was desperately searching the internet for answers when I was in the thick of my struggle. God bless all of you, and have a positive attitude about things. Life will get better in time. Don't let your mind control you. If doctors tell you that you don't have anything seriously wrong with you - believe them. I highly suggest you seek out an allergy doctor if you experienced any of the same symptoms as me and think it is not related to the shot you had for numbing. I saw several people say they had severe pain after their injection - that did not happen to me. I did not have my lingual nerve damaged, but if you are searching for answers you may come across this post. I hope this helps someone!

I've been suffering with symptoms for three years. My tongue started to show signs much like yours. the inside of my cheeks started to "peel" for the lack of a better term. This all started after I had my old fillings replaced with composites. I had a biopsy done and they concluded it was lichenoid mucitis. I've always believed it was an allergic reaction as there were no other changes in my diet or lifestyle and I don't take any medication, but my dentist has been treating it like lichen planus. I am going to talk to him again and hopefully get to the end of this.
Did anyone get their composite fillings replaced or removed? Did your symptoms improve a lot?
I have 3 fillings...all resin, placed 8 years ago (they replaced my old silver ones). Gradually since I've developed a swelling under my jaw that makes it difficult to breathe. Along with rashes on my cheeks. I've been to a MD and ENT and they can't find anything.
I was going to get them replaced with gold foil yesterday but chickened out. I need to go back and do one a.s.a.p.
and then I'll do the other 2 after that.

I strongly suspect the fillings have been causing this severe allergic reaction. 2 of the fillings are on the buccal pit (side wall) of each of my lower molars. The left one is larger and the swelling on my neck there is worse and goes toward my ear. I think the constant saliva from contact with my cheek wall is leaching the toxic ingredients faster.
I can't find help either. I went thru Huggins protocol, all to far away in other states. I called many holistic dentists and made an appt. for next week for one in Los Angeles.
Will let you know what happens. Going out of my mind, all my teeth are now ruined.

Hello from Slovenia-EU,
Here is my story if someone needs information about titanium implants.
I become very ill 8 years ago. My life was like vegetation. I researched around all Europe and USA to found doctor or person who can help me.
After 3 years when I totally exchange my lifestyle I found reason for my problems, It vas silver fillings. After 2 years extreme detoxify – I am lucky that I had support from Dr. Andrew Cutler, one of the best doctor in the world for amalgam detoxify – I got 50 % of my life and my health back. But not all. First I thought that maybe my body is damaged from 15 years of 7 amalgams filling. Than I was shocked when I got information about titanium problems. I had 3 titanium implants with 5 zirconium teeth on. Doctors in my country have told me that titanium is not case for my problems. At that time my problem was:
headache, sinusitis, bleeding gums, pain in the left hand - side where they were implants, problems with vision, problems with memory, great fatigue, without energy, pain in the area of implants, gastro problems. Doctors in my country said that they can’t take out titanium implants safety and that I will have problems with bone after operation. But I investigate a lot again and I got a lot of information from all the world. Some information was useful some not like in every case. But I had lucky again and I got contact about Dr. Shumantov. In my health story I met more that 300 doctors from around the world but I can say that Dr. Shumantov is one of the best doctor and person which I know. He operates in USA and couple of time every year at Europe. I decided that I go to Sofia where he operates in Europe. I was very happy with his professionalism. He told me everything about titanium and what he will do, before operation and I was shocked how easy he removed 3 titanium implants with reverse system. All 3 implants took out in 40 minutes. After that he put new bone material and I come every day to control. After 7 days I go back to my country. Now after 8 month I can tell you: My only mistake was that because of my scary what doctor in Slovenia said, I didn’t take titanium implants out before. In the meantime they disappeared almost everyone my problems which I had before that operation. No headache, no sinusitis, no bleeding gums, no pain in the left hand - side where they were implants, no problems with vision, no pain in the area of implants. It is truth that I still have some energy and tired problems but I think that my body after all problems with amalgam and titanium need more time to recover. Maybe some problems will stay but 8 year ago my life was vegetation; today I got 80 % my life back and totally new way of life. My next part of operation is put zirconium implants in. My story was broadcast on Slovenian TV. I wish that all of you can solve problems with health and especially with teeth. And believe me: Dentist can destroy your life. If you wish more information and contact of Dr. Shumantov you can contact me.

Igor, thank you so much for this information. It is very brave of you and I will be actually passing on this information to a good friend of mine who is suffering from Multiple Sclerosis from what I believe is systemic toxicity from a titanium implant allergy. Thank you again for sharing your story. I hope all is well with you. :::hugs:::
I know this topic is old but I am extremely scared and desperate by this point, Dentists see nothing wrong with the tooth though my oral health is in the decline.. My overall health is actually, This all started 5 months ago when I had fillings done. If anyone has a list of symptoms from dental resin reaction or allergy? That would be amazing thank you in advance. That is if anyone reads this. I would list all I have been through but its a pretty large list of things. If it will help at all however, I will list it.

hi James.I forgot all about my post here.I am not sure about fillings ,but part of my prob turned out to be silent reflux.The awful bacteria is landing around my molar and tongue on RH side.using ranitadine-
please do list problems!some of mine were chills/no energy/feeling sick/food makes worse
My symptoms include "peeling" of the skin on the inside of both my cheeks, burning tongue and overall mouth sensitivity. It's been going on for three years now and I'm at the end of my rope. It hasn't gotten worse in three years, but it also hasn't gotten better
thanks for posting-are you well now?Ive been so ill -i was already having a lot of probs-but after composites replaced some mercuryfillings-that area started having probs-its been about 3 yrs,TMD- and bacteria galore coming out of the area of the gums.food is a problem.yogurt-is the worst.have to clean mouth constantly if i eat it.Im thinking the good bactera-lacto bacillus is a prob after reading the composites have been found to have this and strep bacteria ,Im trying to get a hold of a researcher that wrote some info on this.I would like to know if there is a test to find out or do i just do what you did.How do I find a dentist like yours?feel so doomed-also have a small cyst under jaw.ENT didnt care .after reading abut the pitfalls of bio dentists-im at wits end

that comment was meant for nolongerdupedbydentalindustry--sorry for confusion -that post is way back somewhere
I had some bonding work done on my upper front teeth, Scotch bond then composite. The following day I awoke to a coughing fit, which continued, pounding headache, sore throat, and an extreme chemical/bitter taste. After a month I also developed, joint pain, hormonal issues and intermittent numbness and pins and needles on my upper lip.
I had the bonding replaced with a different composite, this time with one that I had used in the past without a problem. But I gained no improvement from my symptoms.
Had the material removed, and gained some improvement, had nothing on my teeth for a few weeks.
I had the bonding replaced for the third time, with a composite that is considered to be one of the most inert composites for individuals who are sensitive. I felt confident that this would be the last of it. But unfortunately, all my symptoms returned, plus, alternating very dry mouth, then lots of excess saliva, to the point I need a towel on my pillow!
I did the Clifford’s test for compatibility to dental materials, which found all dental composites to be unsuitable, apart from two. I was told my case was most peculiar.
Had the third composite drilled off, with loss of enamel to front teeth, but I still have symptoms.
I believe the Scotchbond adhesive is my problem; I am getting sustained and continual exposure to this material. It encases the face and reverse of my front teeth. I think it has left me sensitised to other dental materials, if I could get rid of this, maybe my reaction to composites would settle down.
I was referred to specialist consultant, who told me, that he could see no adhesive on my teeth. But I know my teeth, and I can see, feel and taste it. He also told me, that adhesive wouldn’t stay on teeth for this long. Although his advice conflicts with what I have read about set adhesive been extremely difficult to remove. All he could offer was drugs to halt excess saliva!
I am at a complete loss, what to do, I need to remove residual adhesive, which is hard to distinguish from enamel and then repair my damaged teeth............

I have same issue with same Scotchbond universal. I was lucky i have restoration on top. They removed all composite and most adhesive. 2 month without filling on tooth, hurt little bit. Every day better and better. That nasty toxic sheet going out little by little.
What i can do later, if i need to put new filling what adhesive I can use safely, or just pull a tooth.

According to the article I've linked below, it seems that the reason why many of you are feeling worse after replacing amalgams with composite resins is not because of the composite resins themselves but perhaps instead from improper removal of the amalgam. If amalgam fillings are removed improperly there can be a high level of exposure of mercury to the body, therefore poisoning you and making you feel even worse. Seems logical to me, It's all in here... http://www.qnhshop.com/images/QNH/dental/Making%20the%20Right%20Dental.pdf

Even if amalgam removed improper way, all mercury intoxication will be gone in month or two. Problems with composite linked to adhesive they use to glue composite to tooth.
I got a terrible burn on the roof of my mouth when my dentist added acrylic to my denture and held it against the roof of my mouth. The longer he kept it there the hotter it got. He said it had something to do with the polymer. What would cause a pretty severe burn like this?

its actually a monomer
I am afraid I will have to have my teeth taken out. The dentist that applied the resin did a filling what has turned black. It started with goo on my teeth but no one believed me. I also knew I had something wrong within 48 hours. Also, this was applied to my recessions I 18months later have a nylon like fiber wrapped around all my teeth. I was 8 dentists, 3 ENT's. Had culture done by GP, since no dentist would take me seriously. E-coli in mouth. Went to Beverly Hills saw a oral surgeon who put me on a oral solution "Daniel's" has four ingredients in it. Now clear for infection. This this effected my nose, eye's, face, skin all over body but mostly face. ENT put me on humidifier C-pap, salt nose rinse, salivary gland compresses....OH forgot hair, nails, and digestive tract. My eyes filled with fluid on lids, runny lost vision left eye for six hours blurred vision. crape paper, flakey wrinkled skin. I found trident gum which I was using to try and pull off some of the goo caused it to escalate. WOW. had allergy testing before I figured this was all connected. Very high reaction to dust mites. I now have to do the testing of resin used, am calling my attorney to sue the dentists who told me to my face I was delusional, a fantom, or just took my money, I am suffering and have an appt. on the 19th of nov. 2015 at Loma Linda University, this time with more knowledge and hope I don't leave crying. It has taken almost two years of my life away and in symptoms are still escalating.
I read your white resin post, I also have been through hell, same as you. My whole mouth and mucosa is ruined. This was a long time ago for you. What what the outcome???? I have seen 8 dentists, etc....until I finally insisted my MD do a culture. I had an infection to top it off.
HI,
Right now I have wax from the outside of cheese wrapped around a tooth that has been root canaled and filled. I get a numbness and burning in my mouth from this tooth. I definetely react to dental products. One way to avoid them is to get a blood test for antigens. There is a group in Colorado, Clifford Consulting, that is the only place I know of that tests for dental allergies. They will give you a list of all the products the dentist can or can't use on you as well as a lits of the groups you react to. It's been the most useful thing I've ever had. I take it to denstists and I can usually avoid what I'll react to. The reason I'm having problems now is that I was tested several years ago and have developed more sensitivities. Hope this helps

I have heard of them, Thank you. I hope you resolve your root canal issue. I am scared of those
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.

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???

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.
Are there any Dentists on this planet that will admit to the fact that this white
plastic filling and its parts can cause Hives. They seem to blame hives on everything else but there poison plastic or what ever you call it.After having my plastic removed my hives subsided very much but I do think that it still
lingers in our system for a while. Two times i had this type of filling put into my mouth on different occasions and when removed the same thing happened within days they subsided. I am going through the same thing now
I am tempted to have him pull these teeth out. Every Dentist should have hives for two weeks so they can understand the damage they sometimes can cause. I am sitting here itching while writing this nonsense This kind of filling
should be outlawed Plus folks many people are allergic to the Latex "plastic"
gloves that they shove into your mouth as i am. My heart go's out to anyone that is suffering with a sever hive outbreak. Before I let one of these geniuses
put this into my mouth again or have a root canal I will have the tooth pulled out. I should have known better after the first time. I was stupid enough to do it again 8 years later.

dentists usually refuse to pull teeth with fillings however they can replace. The problem is not composite here in most cases but self etch adhesive. After composite is cured and become more or less inert, yes it leaks a little but les and less with time. Adhesive at the same time is made of different components and some of them not getting polymerised, but continue to etch everything around . These self etching adhesives never stops etching until removed.
Are you allergic to nylon. I read about a person that was allergic to most deture materials , but could use nylon dentures. But he said it was hard to find anybody that made them still. I believe they used them a lot in the past.
