Skin Allergies? Maybe Your Dentist's To Blame

Skin Allergies? Maybe Your Dentist's To Blame
Actually, the title of the article was "Allergy sufferers could turn to dentists for relief", but then goes on to tell a story of a survey in Japan correlated warts similar to athlete's foot on the hands and feet of patients who received metal dental fillings.

Apparently, the metals used in the fillings --gold, platinum, palladium, silver, nickel, cobalt, mercury and tin-- induced allergic reactions which were manifested on the patients' skin. Unfortunately, becasue there is little coordination between demartologists and dentistslinks, it took a while to figure out the culprit.

Come to think of it, I've had mercury fillings (removed and replaced with plastic in the meantime), and I doubt it even occured to my dentist to test for allergies. How about you? Did your dentist ask about your allergies, apart maybe regarding allergy to drugs (anitbiotics, anesthetics, etc)?
