Thanks for asking!: Never meet patient allergic to acrylic dentures. Would consult allergist to perfom scatch test to find special acrylic not allergic to patient.

Burning & Itching: If you area truly allergic to acrylic (which is rare), and you truly have oral symptoms (which is even more rare), they would most likely include one or more of the following: redness, puffiness, itching, burning, tenderness.

FEW: Assuming the acrylic is clean and removed in the evening, there are very few reports of allergic sensitivity.
