Okay, I've been calling the dentist's office, and they are evidently too busy to talk to me. I've called 3 times, been on hold for 20 min, and I can't do that any more. So I'll ask my question here
( Read more... )
no, not really. I swelled a little after the extraction, of course, but it's mostly gone now. DDS said I was healing up very nicely, and any swelling I have at this point is perfectly normal.
Because generally, with dental allergies like that- to acrylic and the like- you'd have instant itching, burning, and swelling, and also often lumps would form.
So if all you're experiencing is a bit of stomach upset and a little mouth-oddness, it's probably just 'getting used to the new thing' time, and not actual allergy.
Also, it is true that acrylic allergies are nearly non-existant, and the acrylic that dentists use, because it is completely hardened before they put it in your mouth, is almost hypoallergic.
blerg, that is what I was afraid of. The two things cropped up at around the same time, though.
Thing is, though, that I've had this stuff in my mouth for ... about 4 weeks now, and neither the mouth-oddness OR the stomach business has gone away.
BTW, the acrylic that they used here was some powder in a squeezy bottle, that they mix with some fixative from an eyedropper. It's goopy when it goes in the mouth; but it did harden fairly quickly.
Just from a brief glance at a google search, though several posts there mentioned Benadryl helping. If it's an allergic reaction, benadryl might help- might help you sleep better, too.
I have a partial and have used the acryllic stuff, so I am familiar with what you're going through.
Question for ya -- how's the temporary job market in your area? I am feeling the need to get far away, and was thinking of going somewhere far south to work for a few months.
Temp job market: to be honest, I don't really know. I've not been in the temp job market for quite some time.s However, I still get job alerts and leads on things, and I do know of several companies you can contact if you want to check on things in Austin. Just say the word, and tell me the sorts of things you do.

Tongue not swollen at all.
Why do you ask?

You're probably just sick, unfortunately. Sorry!

Hope all is going well.
