Alergie na zuby: Co to je, jak se projevuje a co s tím dělat
When you feel itching, swelling, or a strange burning sensation in your mouth after a dental procedure, it might not be just irritation—it could be an alergie na zuby, alergická reakce na látky používané v stomatologii, jako jsou kovy, akryláty nebo konzervační látky. Also known as alergie na dentální materiály, it’s not rare, but it’s often missed because symptoms look like ordinary gum irritation or sensitivity. Many people think their sore gums are just from brushing too hard or eating something acidic, but if the problem keeps coming back after every visit to the dentist, it’s worth checking if your body is reacting to something in the filling, crown, or denture.
Most dental materials are safe for the vast majority, but some contain nickel, chromium, or methacrylates—substances that can trigger allergic responses in sensitive individuals. You might notice redness, blisters, or peeling inside your cheeks, a metallic taste that won’t go away, or even swollen lips after getting a new filling. In rare cases, people report chronic mouth ulcers or a feeling like something’s always stuck in their throat. These aren’t just "bad luck"—they’re signals your immune system is fighting something it shouldn’t be. If you’ve had multiple dental treatments and keep getting these symptoms, your reaction might be to the plomby, materiály používané k výplni zubů, včetně amalgámu nebo kompozitních pryskyřic. Even protézy, snímací zubní náhrady, které obsahují akryláty nebo kovy, které mohou uvolňovat alergenní látky. can be the culprit. Dentists rarely test for this unless you bring it up, so don’t assume it’s normal.
The good news? You don’t have to live with it. Modern dentistry offers plenty of hypoallergenic options—ceramic fillings, titanium implants, or free-acrylic dentures. If you suspect an allergy, ask your dentist for a patch test or refer you to an allergist. Keep a simple log: note what procedure you had, what materials were used, and when symptoms started. This helps connect the dots faster. You might be surprised how quickly things improve once you switch to safer materials.
It’s not just about comfort—it’s about long-term health. Chronic inflammation in the mouth can affect your immune system, sleep, and even digestion. If you’ve been told "it’s all in your head" or "just sensitive gums," trust your body. You’re not overreacting. There’s a real connection between what goes into your mouth and how your body responds to it. Below, you’ll find real-life experiences, practical tips, and clear explanations about what causes these reactions, how to recognize them early, and how to find dentists who know how to handle them properly.
