Dental Bridge Glue

I'm at the point where I don't want to deal with it in the dentist's office anymore.

I am having a new bridge procedure (my third one), and I've had to have a temporary bridge put in, taken out, and glued back in several times. The final bridge should be ready next Monday. Although they call it "permanent", they're not as I've had my original two replaced, albeit after 20 years.

I've already been though it with this dentist regarding celiac and teeth cleaning, but forgot to ask if the cement has gluten in it. To futher confuse things, the final glue is different than the temporary stuff.

I don't think I've gotten glutened, but since the final fitting is next Monday I wonder if I should ask about the cement. Once it's in, I'm wondering if glutened glue, if there is such a thing in dentistry, would affect us.

That question never occurred to me. I too, have had several bridges, don't ask why, as well as 10 of my lower teeth capped with a five unit bridge on each side. Those bridges have been removed and replaced with individual crowns.

The process has taken about five years and eventually, implants will be installed where my last 8 unit front upper bridge is.

I have probably swallowed an entire tube of glue over the last years!

I will ask my dentist tomorrow about this.

In the mean time, here is a link to a search which is very interesting: Open Original Shared Link

Hello,

Here are the most common dental cements and statements from the companies used on bridges that I know of that are used in the US. You can print it out and ask your dentist if they use one of them. The gluten-status of other in-office dental products is also listed on my website. (Sorry I can't post it here)

*Bosworth"All our Dental products are Gluten free. " 4/25/07

*Dentsply/Caulk "our products are gluten free." 4/24/07

*3M ESPE Dental"We do not intentionally add gluten in the manufacture of our products. We do not analyze for gluten and therefore, do not make any claims of being gluten-free." 4/19/07

*GlaxoSmithKline"We do not provide a list of gluten free products as formula changes or manufacturing site changes may occur. We ask that consumers call us about specific products to ask this question. As far as Polident tablets are concerned, they are a gluten free product." 4/25/07

*Kerr Corp."All Kerr products are gluten free." 4/24/07

*Premier Dental Products"a plant manager from one of our manufacturing faculties has celiac disease so no gluten ever enters the plant. Our prophy paste, varnish and whitening products do not contain any gluten" 4/23/07

*Septodent"Septodont - Novocol anesthetics have no hidden ingredients. Also, Gluten is not an ingredient in our Anesthetics." 4/24/07

*Zilactin (Blairex Laboratories) "All Zilactin products distributed by Blairex Laboratories do not contain ingredients derived from wheat (glutten), barley, rye, oats, or spelt." 4/23/07

Also, some gloves use oat gum as the powder. But the more commonly used brands use corn starch derived powders.

Good Luck!

Thanks, this helps greatly - I can take the list to the dentist on my next appointment, or before.

It's too late to do anything about the temporary glue, but it's important to know the status of the final cements.

I would check them out, but from this list and everything else I've ever read, you should be safe.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      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 y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      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.

      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 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.
