Can the metal used in teeth implants cause dangerous side affects?

My friend has experienced pain and swelling in the joints of her body since her implants and wonders if this could be related.

Can the metal used in teeth implants cause dangerous side affects?
Pure titanium is completely inert when placed in the human body.. Nothing in the human body can chemically react with it. A pure titanium implant that has been properly sterilized and surface-treated should not cause any reactions at all.





Some companies do make alloy implants that are composed of more than 1 metal which might cause problems.. Your friend might want to find out what kind of implants she got.
Reply:i dont think so, that is strange. Normally the body doesn%26#039;t %26quot;reject%26quot; metal (my husband%26#039;s got a back full of titanium!). This is kind of a doctor question they probably need to see if there%26#039;s a cause from implants or just coincidence that arthritis is beginning to rear its ugly head.
Reply:She may be allergic to the metal in her implants. I would have her contact her dentist, and tell the dr. the side effects she has been having, she may need to have them replaced.
Reply:there should be no problems with side effect to metals in implants, fillings, braces, or anything going into your mouth as long as you let you dentist know of any known metal allergies for that matter ALL allergies. Most implant metal is titanium which is suppose to be hypo-allergenic. If they is any pain or irritation to your mouth with any dental appliances that your dentist didn%26#039;t tell you to expect you should contact him or her as soon as possible.





as a thought to your friends case they need to contact there doctor or dentist it could just be pain from the bones having something %26quot;traumatic%26quot; done to them ( it will affect the whole body even if it was done it the mouth to an extent) but there very well could be a more serious issue like an infection that could be bring on these symptoms
