With false upper teeth has anyone had problems with a horribly itchy, sneezy, runny nose after getting them??

Are you allergic to nickel ? or any metal?


======================================...





Updated answer:


If the crowns you got were PFMs, or porcelain fused to metal, then this could be the reason, these crowns have high content of nickel in the metal alloy, and can trigger an allergic reaction, specially if they are not covered with porcelain in the back, and the bare metal is touching your gum.


I think your problem will not resolve unless you change these crowns into something that has no Nickel in it, like all ceramic crowns, Lava crowns, captek crowns (which is similar to porcelain fused to high purity gold).


If the crowns you have are not PFMs, then it's hard for me to find an explanation for your situation.


If you are not sure about your crowns, call your dentist and ask him what metal was used. PFM can be "porcelain fused to non precious metal", they are cheap, because they don't have any precious metal in the alloy (read bio-compatible metal here), thus causing a lot of allergic reaction in sensitive individuals. PFMs can be "porcelain fused to semi- precious or high noble metal", they tend to cause less allergic reaction because they have more gold in the alloy and less nickel.


but still, if you have confirmed allergy to nickel, I would pick a crown that is metal free, LAVA crowns are great, and extremely bio compatible, but they significantly more expensive.


If you mean by false teeth a partial denture, not crowns or bridges, then try to take the denture out for couple days, see if that helps. if it does, again change it to non metal partial, like a valplast.


let me know if I can be of more help.

My husband has huge problems with that after he got his. it got to the point that he has to take claritin which makes him feel much better.
