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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
