Can you have an allergic reaction to a bridge.? i had a bridge put in 4weeks ago, and since then i have sores(kankars) that cause a burning when i eat anything, and when i brush, i have a lot of bleeding.

It : It is possible to have an allergic reaction to any restorative material, though this is rare. Usually the allergic reaction is limited to the immediate area of the restoration. I would have your dentist evaluate the ulcers and if necessary refer you to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. It may be prudent to biopsy one of the lesions to determine the nature of the problem.

Allergies : Allergies are rare to dental materials, but I have come across a couple. One is to nickel and the other to an acrylic temporary material. Nickel is a metal used in crown and partial denture alloys. About 1 in 5 people are allergic to nickel. Have you ever had an outbreak before like this? If so, this may be your answer: aphthous or herpetic ulcers. Trauma can cause an onset. For the immediate short-term, ask your dentist for magic mouthwash. Next, get to your dentist to have the situation evaluated. If he/she can't give you the answer you need, you will have to go to an allergist.

Allergies : Allergies are possible but rare. Most allergies are with the temporary materials and not the final restoration. If the bridge has a metal substructure, the metal can cause a reaction, but not not normally.
