Do Dental Fillings With Composite Resin Cause Allergies?

Is it possible I am allergic to composite resin fillings? I had a bunch of gumline cavities filled with composite resin. After the top teeth were done my upper lip swelled. MD thought I had a spider bite and treated as such. After bottom teeth were filled both upper and lower lips swelled. DDS thought it might be latex allergy. Steroids and antihistamines reduced swelling in two days. Now three weeks later I woke up in middle of the night with both lips swollen again. I have not had any recent dental treatment. Could I be allergic to the fillings?

Allergies can be caused by anything and sufferer himself is the best judge to assess it. No machines or tests can 100% diagnose it. These only help.

However, before you take any decision to remove fillings, try to take combo of turmeric powder, Neem leaves powder and Sugarcandy powder in 1:1:1 ratio. Slightest improvement or relief will indicate that it's working for you. It's safe combo. No side effects. No interaction with other medicines.

May continue till it cures fully. Slow pace of cure should not be a distractor for you.

Hope it helps you.
