Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / April 2005Composite Filling - Bad taste?
Hello, I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else. I tried to search through the usenet and found a lot of garbage that went off topic before there was a real answer to the question. :-) Anyways, I had a couple of composite fillings done yesterday and since then I've had a weird metallic almost blood taste in my mouth. It does not seem to be going away even after brushing my teeth and rinsing several times. I also noticed a very small piece of the composite in my mouth when I was chewing. I am guessing it broke off? My teeth also ache which I would fully expect but the taste in my mouth is what has me concerned. Is this normal? Will it ever go away? Should I mention it to my dentist? Is there anything that can be done to correct this? Thank you, P. >Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >P. Something is wrong. go back to your dentist. .. Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S.

Its going to go away .. .trust me .. .we do not have any cappuccino-flavoroed restorations as of March 24, 2005 .... Joel >Thank you, > >P. UPDATE: Good news! The bad taste finally went away today! I have no idea what actually caused it but I'm just relieved that it is gone. Thanks for the feedback. :-) > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > P. No need to apologize. Let me guess, a mainstream dentist installed your composites?? If so, there's your problem, correct procedure was not followed and he may not even know every speck of metal must be removed. If this is the case, your composites may crumble and you will have a huge mess along with possible health problems. I wouldn't let it go. See a holistic dentist ASAP. LL. >> Hello, >> [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > >LL. Just yesterday Jan was telling everybody that as I have no medical qualifications I should not act as a consumer advocate advising a committee investigating quackery. She even stated how I define "quackery" but, as usual, she got it wrong. (I resisted the temptation to call her a liar.) Today she is giving advice about dentistry. I must therefore point out that she has no qualifications to provide such advice. She is totally unaware of the chemistry involved in the various dental restoration materials (and when she pretends to get educated she picks loons like Professor Boyd Haley who apparently cannot tell his arse from his elbow)and has no training in dental procedures, but she feels qualified to discuss how restorations are done and what materials should be used. She is a hypocrite. Ignore her advice - it will only cause you pain and unnecessary expense.

Don't worry (be happy), its just Jannie lie-y-y-y-y-ying! Joel |
