problem crown/tooth, what's my next move?

[Bryanna]

diaba,

There truly is only a tiny amount of cement used to adhere a crown. The inside walls of the crown get lightly lined with the cement allowing enough room for the crown to fit over the core build up without jeopardizing the fit. I'm stressing the amount to you because hopefully your exposure to it was minimal enough to avoid a permanent problem. Of course your concerns about continuing to wear this crown are warranted based on your history of extreme reactions to minimal exposures of other things.

I wish there was an easy solution to this problem... or at least a reasonable one!

I'm hopeful that your physical reaction will lessen and dissipate altogether and you won't have to deal with this any further.....

Keep us posted.....

The reaction is clearly extreme, but considering I get heart rhythm changes with .5 L supplemental oxygen and have been unable to tolerate any meds for lyme or ms over the past several years, and have cardiac/breathing changes around baking soda, it seems possible that I might react this way. I can't think of anything else that has changed, and the symptoms started about 1/2 hr after I had it placed.

I have been listening to the posts. You definately need someone new to treat you. what you have experienced isn't good dentistry. Wish you were in my neck of the woods, as after 60 years, I found a gem. Hope you find the quality of care you very much need. Brayanna is right about that! Wish you all the best, ginnie

not sure how I can find a safe cement for me at this point. The clifford test said that this relyx2 is compatable for me, the vega test said no. So as i read about online, i tried to place a small sample of it in my mouth and got an increase in my heart rate after about 5 min.

So it seems like the blood test is not accurate for me. seems like a gamble to try another cement and hope it is okay. I guess I could get many samples and try placing them in my mouth and see what happens but not sure that much experimenting would be good for my body either.

just updating, not sure there's anything anyone else can do, except remove the tooth.
