Any Dentist's Out There? Or Anyone That Might Know!

Just wondering if anyone has any information about the cement that dentist's use in their practices? I had a cap cemented onto a post, inside a broken off tooth yesterday, and I am suffering severely today. I know that it was not food, only fruits, vegetables, and meat/fish yesterday...and the last 5 days, and everything was made at home by me in a gluten-free home.

I specifically asked them to find out before I went if it had gluten in it, but when I got there know one said anything.... 2 different cements were used, along with novocain, but I think the novocain was okay. I got the novocan at 3:00 - it did not wear off until after 6 at night.

If it's the same stuff that orthodonists use to secure the wires behind your teeth (post braces) then it's gluten-free.

Did they use a topical to numb the area before injection of the novacaine? This is often the culprit. You should double check on the glue though and also call your dentist today and tell him you have gotten glutened there. Many dentists are clueless and do not think there is a need to check products. They often assume they are all safe, they are not. It makes me so angry that in other countries dentists are often the first to notice problems because of the effects on the enamel and the first to refer children for testing. In the US they know nothing about it at all and just traumatize us further by yelling at us for not taking care of our teeth as they crumble out of our heads.

Yes, they used a topical to numbing gel too....I know the dentist scraped the extra dried glue away, and I did rinse, but I am sure I swallowed some of that also. I was so ill yesterday, had every symptom, and painful D, today the symptoms I have remaining are super gas in my belly, and abit of fatigue, dizziness, and extreme back pain. I will call tomorrow and tell them how seriously ill I got after being there.

I definately asked before I went to the dentist to check on what they were going to use to be sure there was no gluten in it...but I guess they did not take me seriously.

I explained to the dentist....of which I do like, and only been going to him for about 2 years.... that most dentists recognize the dental enamal effects caused by celiac sprue. He said he never heard of this disease before, but would keep his eyes open for the next patient. This should be something learned in dental school - it has to do with tooth enamal for heaven sakes!

Thanks for the advice.

Hello,

Don't know if this is too late for you, but I have a listing of the gluten status of many common in-office and over-the-counter dental products on my website. Please feel free to print it out and bring to the dentist or refer them to the website. I can't post it here, but it is on my profile page.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Julie

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
