I don't know what the exact cause is, but a family member has had fillings replaced will gold caps and has since suffered from headaches Of course, the dentist denies any correlation between the headaches and the dental procedure The reason is that when two dissimilar metals are placed in close proximity in a fluid environment ... they create a battery. If you have gold ALMOST touching a silver filling
in saliva. An electric current is caused which shocks the mouth. It can
cause toothaches, sinus pain, headaches and TMJ problems. When I
say ALMOST, I mean just before the teeth come together, and just
after they come apart. NOT while they are touching.
I would like to hear from anyone whose food/skin allergy problems proved to be the result of sensistivity/allergy to some substance used by their dentist. And how the problem was corrected. Thanks. Fleischer One of the leading consultants in construction of environmentally safe housing, almost died from a series of allergic reactions. It wasn't until a root canaled tooth was removed that he made a full recovery. It was filled with gutta percha. There are also several support groups dealing with dental amalgam sensitivities. The average MD will say that since these materials aren't protein in nature, you can't be allergic to them. But I know a woman who lost her husband, children, job and home because of the confusion caused by her nickle based bridgework. It may not be a true allergy but its close enough for me. By the way, one of the main components of gutta percha is formaldehyde. Many dentists disinfect the root canal before packing with formocreosol. If you will remember that's the stuff they put in telephone poles to kill anything wanting to eat the pole's wood. Many people react to these materials. A gutta percha reaction may not be a latex-like reaction but a formaldehyde reaction. Gutta-Percha is the rubbery exudate of trees of the genus Palaquium, Sapotaceae, and Habit. Chemically, it has nothing to do with formaldehyde. It is a natural polymer composed of mostly trans-isoprene. Isoprene is a naturally-occurring hydrocarbon, composed only of carbon and hydrogen. It is somewhat like polyethylene or polypropylene. Dentists use it as a cement. Since it is a purified polymeric substance, it should cause little trouble in your body; however, if the purified polymer is contaminated with traces of other naturally-occurring substances that are not polymers, one could have an allergic reaction to it, but not because of the gutta-percha itself. I hope this clears up any misconceptions about it. Best regards,
(Reply) Joe, The gutta percha used in dentistry isn't pure
gutta purcha.
