Can dental fillings cause allergies?

Dental fillings may potentially cause allergic reactions. The main causes of allergies related to dental fillings include individual physical differences, allergic reactions to certain components in the filling materials, and irritation from medications used during the filling process. Common allergy symptoms include itching, redness, swelling, and pain in the gums, and in some cases, systemic allergic reactions such as blistering or ulcers may occur. To prevent allergic reactions to dental fillings, it is recommended to undergo a thorough medical examination and allergy testing before the procedure, to ensure no allergic sensitivity to the filling materials. Additionally, choosing a reputable medical facility and an experienced dentist for the filling procedure can help reduce the risk of allergic reactions. After the filling, if any discomfort or adverse symptoms occur, prompt medical attention should be sought for diagnosis and treatment.
