Allergy to veneers, crowns? Is it possible that I am reacting to the cement used to adhere the veneers and crowns?

Asked By:DebbieSL in Springfield, MO

I had 10 veneers, five crowns several months ago. I've had metallic taste, pain eating, extreme fatigue. When I have a deadening agent injected, I break out in blisters at the injection site. I do not have gum disease. The cause was orthodontic work 40 years ago when "grooves" were drilled into my teeth to correct jaw alignment and bite. Over time, it resulted in cracks. I react adversely to drugs and have suffered Parkinsonism and other maladies. I've seen my PCP; metabolic reason for my symptoms.
