Allergic to dentures!?

I don't have full dentures, just a couple of fake teeth hooked into my braces (to fill gaps). I got sick the very next morning after having them put in. (sneezing, runny nose, etc.) Could I be allergic to my new teeth?! well thanks!

Allergic to dentures!?
There are more likely causes, but it is not impossible to be allergic to the plastics used in the denture.





The USUAL reaction, though, is a redness and itching or burning of the tissues that the denture is in contact with. I'd suspect something coincidentally going on at the same time, unrelated to the denture.
Reply:It seems more likely to me that you picked up some virus or bacteria from the person who put them in for you.
Reply:You probably just had a draft or something in your room last night. An allergic reaction to a fake tooth would cause irritation, swelling, and/or redness in the area that the tooth is. But allergies to plastics has got to be super rare.
Reply:Not likely.... Probably just up a little dust that caused the reaction... All products used are mostly not allergenic
Reply:DR. SAM IS COMPLETELY CORRECT. THE SYMPTOMS YOU DESCRIBE DO NOT COINCIDE WITH WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS AN ALLERGY TO A FALSE PLASTIC TOOTH PLACED IN THE BRACES.


MOST LIKELY IT COINCIDES WITH A COMMON RHINO-VIRUS = A COLD.
