Can The Material Used To Cap Fornt Teeth Be Allergic?
I had 2 front top teeht capped at a clinic. Since then the inside of my upper lip is always tender, hurts but no sores. The clinic dr said ask my gp, my gp said see a dentist. Could I be allergic to the material used for the caps as the bottom lip is fine. I'm a female 73 yts old.

Hello:)Welcome to HCM.
You did not mention the type of crown on the tooth.Nickel and certain metals can be allergic.
I suggest you to go for a skin test.
People who are allergic to artificial jewellery are prone to this.
You can go for a zirconia crown if it tests positive.
Hope this helps.
