FAQ: Allergic Reactions - Allergy

Question:
New dentures and allergic reaction: I have new upper and lower dentures. I got the uppers first and was adjusting without any real problems.

But when the dentist put in a temporary soft liner, I began to have several issues such as tingling, swelling, dry mouth, bitter and metalic taste.

I suspected a possible latex allergy related to the soft liners, but the dentist didn't think so. Now both plates have the soft liners, and I continue to have these issues. ...Visitor from TX

Answer:
Just because a dental product claims to not cause allergic reactions, there is ALWAYS a small percentage of the general population that will have allergic reactions.

Get the ingredients lists of the products used and consult with an allergist or toxicologist.
