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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
