Just had 6 white fillings in the front & ulcers on gums,severe swelling & several blisters on my lips?

Question

I have never had this before after having white fillings. My mouth has been so painful and my lips really swollen , gums have been bleeding and have since developed into white seeping ulcers , my teeth feel gritty on the outside where the fillings have been done and my lips have blistered up with 5 sores . Does any one have any ideas what it could be . I had the fillings last Monday and mouth still really sore ! I have to have 4 more tomorrow but feel anxious about going through this again . Any ideas what it could be ? Thankyou .

Answer 1

it can be one of two things you may have an allergy to a product that was used most common allergy is latex from the gloves that the office uses. it can also be that your ammune system may be low and when you drill out a cavity the bacteria gets in blood stream and if your ummune is down then you are more at risk of sores and blisters in mouth. It will take about 7 days to start the healling process. Abreve is a great product to use.Make sure you tell your dentist of this so they take precautions and try useing gloves that r not latex.I hope this helps you!!!

Answer 2

Although in some relatively rare instances, people are actually allergic to the white resin fillings, I'd suggest that the surface roughness might be irritating your tissues. No, the surface of a filling will not generally feel as smooth as natural tooth structure, but if your teeth actually feel gritty, perhaps they can be polished down a little more.

Just a thought.

Whatever it is, if I was the patient or the dentist, I'd like to resolve the issue before getting four more fillings done.

CALL THE DENTIST first thing in the morning before you go in and discuss this matter. They probably have an hour or more saved for you that could be used for another patient. They'll only need 15 minutes to check things out if you are not ready to have more fillings done.

Answer 3

I DO TOO!!! I just recovered from biting a huge hole in my lip. I usually just bite the top couple of layers off and try to stop before it starts getting sore. I didn't even realize I was biting that time though and just startled myself when I felt sharp pain and tasted blood I even go as far as to use my finger to push the inside of my lip to my teeth so I can get to another layer... Its just as simple as catching yourself and making yourself stop when you realize it. Its hard because I know what you mean about liking it...Its like a soothing pain that feels good and hurts at the same time... It will go away quickly with concious avoidance...I used to have these two other ones where I would take anything sharp and pick at the gum between two of my molars on the left side until it was sore and bleeding...and I would use my fingernail or anything sharp to pick at the side cuticle of my middle finger until that too was sore and bleeding

Answer 4

Could be an allergic reaction to the filling material ,some of the newer plastic materials have a solvent component that could be the culprit . Also if a rubber dam was used you could be allergic to latex . Lastly cotton rolls used to dry the area could be allergic . Your Dentist certainly will want to evaluate you .

Answer 5

LAST MONDAY! You are too patient. Something is wrong. You have an infection or a severe reaction to contaminated dental material. Call your dentist.

Answer 6

Sounds like an allergic reaction, rinsing with warm salt water will help fight bacteria and dry the open sores.

Answer 7

When you go to get your fillings ask the dentist if you should wait a while. Tell him/her what your feeling and maybe they can do something for you (like give you your money back).

Answer 8

Infection. Ask your dentist why? You probably need anti biotics.

Answer 9

Allergic reaction....or infection...get an antibiotic right away!

Answer 10

GINGIVITIS CAUSE OF THE BLEEDING GUMS. BLISTERS COULD BE HERPES, HAVE YOU GIVEN ORAL SEX? NOT A JOKE, I HOPE YOU FIND OUT SOON
