Poisoned At The Dentist?

Has anyone else had really weird reactions, as in feeling "poisoned" for a week after getting dental work done? Could it be from the novacaine, or whatever it is they numb you with? I had never been numbed at the dentist (as far as I can remember - no fillings or anything), so maybe it's normal, but I have felt SO WEIRD since I got some dental work done last week.

They also did impressions and took and impression of my bite line with this weird whip cream like substance, so god only knows what's in that stuff. I guess it could be gluten, but it really doesn't feel like that. I've had crazy brain fog, really intense night sweats (like I have to wake up and take a shower at 2:30 in the morning), shakiness, really dark urine even though I drink tons of water, dizziness, I keep dropping things, I just feel really blah in general. I mean it's not so bad that I can't function, it's just weird.

The only cause I can think of is the dentist. Does this happen to anyone else???? Or is this just a new form of glutening from whatever was in that nasty impression and whip creamy stuff????

Hi,

I have had severe reactions to gluten after being in the dentist office. It leaves me sick for several days with "brain fog". The last time I had it I couldn't write out the check to pay for my visit and my husband had to almost carry me out of the office. I had been fine when I went in. The dentist said he had a few Celiac patients, but when he asked me if I ever had a problem with the topical anesthetic, I said No but a little bell went off in my head. Immediately after that I started to feel very weird. To make a long story short I found a new dentist who is working with me. he promised to never put any substance in my mouth which could harm me. I really appreciate him taking the time to call manufacturers to safeguard my well being. I no longer use the topical anesthetic, I just take the shot and I am fine. My advice to you is to read all the labels,

tell them to make your appt time a little longer and know what they are giving you. He also wrote about the dangers on my chart so no one can contaminate me. This also applies to the cleanings. Clan Thompson makes a little guide book on medications which do not contain gluten and they do include dental materials.

If you have any questions please PM me and I will try to help. Some people also blame the powder in the gloves, I'm not sure about that. Hope this helps.

Thanks, that does help. It just doesn't feel like a glutening. It feels like I'm being "poisoned" by something else, but who knows! Thanks for the response!

A lot of the stuff they use to clean your teeth contain milk, as well as medicines they might use to numb you or put you out. You should really tell the dentist that you can not have stuff containing gluten or dairy in your mouth or injected into you. If he doesn't get the picture tell him you've had life threatening reactions in the past. That will get him to really pay attention.

I haven't been to the dentist for a long time, but I could never handle any kind of anesthesia that they gave me. First of all they would have to give me so much because it wouldn't take and then when I would finally get numb I would be out. Afterwards I never felt 'right'. It would take me a couple weeks to get it out of my system.

IF your urine is dark, I would entertain the possibility of a UTI. It could also explain your feeling poorly in general. Your symptoms, or some of them, may be coincidental to what went on at the dentist.

One of my dentist's assistant has a celiac disease and they are very cautious - when I chatted with the dentist about my food issues, she immediatly checked the ingredients of what was going to go in my mouth to see if I could have it...I have been having my teeth fixed after avoiding the dentist for a loooonnnngggg time.

I agree. You should go to the doctor, my grandfather had dark urine and didn't go for a while, when he finally did they found out that his UTI had gotten so bad that his kidneys were starting to shut down. Go to the doctor now, you could get out with some antibiotics, or he could tell you that you are fine. It sure beats kidney failure.

Hmmm...I never thought of that, thanks for the advice.

That's exactly what happened to me. They kept giving me more and more anesthesia...they gave me soooo much it was ridiculous.

Thanks for the insight everyone.

I had the same problems from the anesthesia....I felt weird and poisoned after they did all that to me too. I felt they were excessive with the numbing cream and shots. I remember after the first experience I had to go back and I told him straight up that I did NOT want any numbing. I would rather deal with the pain. I think he numbed me anyway. :(

That was about a month before my health went downhill.

Gosh, that's scary. It's weird becasue I just know that something at the dentist "poisoned" me. I don't know if I was neccessarily glutened or dairy'd...but it was something.

So...I had to get that dental work done last week because I'm getting four veneers put in my mouth (in about a week and a half). Should I be worried about what might be in the glue they use for those???? Will they even tell me if I ask?

Demand that they tell you or refuse to have it done. Only you know how your body feels!

I HATE the dentist! I was just there and I explained what happened to me the last time I was injected with that anesthetic stuff. She said she absolutely HAD to inject me with it again. Going without was not an option. She gave me a weaker version and then complained that she had to "tip toe" around my teeth because I would not let her numb me more.

Ugh...I know I shouldn't complain. I'm getting the veneers becasue I'm actually missing teeth, so it's not a totally cosmetic thing, but now I wish I had never gotten myself into this. The veneers were all chipped and they made me look like a horse, so they sent them back to the lab...which means I get to go in once more next week and get injected with that stuff again. But they said they can't do anything about the horse thing. They just have to be that way. B) My natural teeth are really little and the veneers are about four times bigger. Yay for pretty horse teeth.

I just had to vent <_< They did say they will print me out lists of all the ingredients in all of the things they put in my mouth or inject me with, so I guess that's good....

I'm glad they are doing that for you. It also helps with awareness. Enamel problems go with Celiacs. I didn't realize I needed to be gluten-free when I went - didn't think the numbness would ever go away. It would come and go for weeks. I had peridontal work. Then root canal. I kept getting infections. LindaLee

I guess I am really lucky, my dental hygentist has food intolerances and her daughter has gluten and soy intolerances so when I ask what they use, she tells me exactly - and when I asked my dentist about stuff she was putting in/on, she immediatly read the ingredients and asked if all of them were OK to use or not.

Boy can I sympathize. You need to insist that they not just print out the list but that they take the time to check it before you go back. I trusted my dentist and still continued to get sick. I later found out all they did was write celiac in my chart and did not bother to check anything. Make them put it in writing. If they won't I would take my veneers in a box and have another celiac savvy dentist put them on.

I also have the dentist use the plain pumice with no flavoring to clean my teeth. I've never had anything other than a cleaning so I can't help you there.

Dear Mango: I have celiac disease and sjogrens syndrome. Because of this I go to the dentist very regularly. I have a personal relationship with my office and have paid for my dentists son's college education. Not that I mind because I love her. BUT, I understand where you're coming from. The first thing you have to do is find a good dentist that is not going to complain about your ailments and tip-toing around your mouth. Your hiring and paying her for goodness sake. I have a reaction to epinephrin in the novicain so I have it without the epi. This helps as I no longer have rapid heart palpatation now, only from anxiety not introduced meds. I have had many crowns because of my deteriorating teeth. My teeth are literally melting away because of the lack of saliva. I don't know what I would do if I didn't trust my dentist. I wouldn't let your dentist come near me with a ten foot pole. He should be doing as much research as necessary to find the answer to your problems and finding the alternative if available for your impressions, injections, etc. I know it is a bother but that's what you pay him for. I hope this helps. :D

Mango, when I got all of my mercury fillings out I went to a special kind of dentist. I can't remember what exactly his title was, it's been some time, but he was very very cautious and knowledgeable about allergies/sensitivities and auto-immune conditions. He tested substances with kiniseology before using anything that went into or around my mouth, and especially the replacement fillings.

Maybe you could find this kind of dentist in your neck of the woods.

Sure. When (er if) they give it to me I'll definitely post it.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6.

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
