Question from Marshmallowcottage
I just got a partial bridge and made sure that it didn’t have BPA or PVC in it. I’ve had it for almost a week and just started with symptoms. My tongue underneath and my bottom inside gums are starting to burn. Also, my salivary glands under my tongue are swollen and painful.
I have MCS and this bridge is necessary for eating and chewing. What kind of other plastics, acrylics are used in a dental piece and is there any way to detoxify it so it doesn’t bother me.
Debra’s Answer
Readers, any experience with this? What did you do?
Marsha, did you get this from a biologic dentist or a regular dentist? If a regular dentist, I recommend you check with a biologic dentist who is familiar with safer materials.

Buying oxygenated oil, I like the organic ozonated hemp oil and the sunflower oil with oxone…helps heal the gums naturally….
Is this a partial or a bridge? Is it removable?
It is a removable partial
Debra and others,
Since I wrote this question and asked for advice, I was told by my dentist that the swelling was just from the pressure of the new introduction into my mouth, so I’ve waited. The swelling has gone down. Although not a biological dentist, my dentist assures me that there are no monomers, BPA or PVC in this partial and that it is hypo-allergenic. I told him I had MCS and explained what that meant and sent him an article on it to further explain. He said he informed his lab of it and got me the best money could buy. Since the swelling has gone down and I cannot afford to have yet another partial made right now, I’ve settled for this one. It has actually become quite comfortable and I am not having any reaction to it at all. (Doesn’t mean it’s 100% safe, though, I know) In the future I may decide to go to a biological dentist and have one made.
Thanks Debra.
PS I would still be interested in hearing some comments about partials and acrylics, if the folks would be so kind.
Hello-
If I had this problem, I would begin to do some gentle oil pulling, and sauna therapy to help the body detoxify. (perhaps even a few coffee enemas) I would also search for a holistic dentist (perhaps contact a holistic MD in the area for a reference) in the meantime.
