Well. It’s been an interesting past couple of weeks. To start off I’m still miserable. My mouth just will not stop hurting. I find it unacceptable that the guy who placed my implants has run and hidden himself. I mean you are a doctor for fucks sake. Help me.
Instead, my oral surgeon is being the rockstar. I took it upon myself to get tested for heavy metals. I need to start finding answers to what is causing my issues since nobody is really helping.
Low and behold, I am allergic to:
Cobalt
Gold
Fragrance
Cobalt
Gold
Fragrance
What are the odds. The most common metals used in dentistry. My mount has had nothing but problems since these implants were put in. I have tolerated almost a year of non stop pain. I have complained every single day. Yet it never is heard by the guy that placed the implants.
Happy ignorance.
That’s what we will call that. The inept ability to understand and help a patient. Hey you made your 12k. You don’t have to do anything more. I literally am so fucking angry at the misdirection of this blubbering dipshit. 3 weeks into the implants and I knew something was wrong. My mouth did not feel right. After 1 month, an implant failed. After consistently telling him somethings wrong. Only acted when it was absolutely necessary.
Where do these people get their licenses? Cracker Jack boxes?
Recovering from that was not easy. That infection spread everywhere in my face. Because he wouldn’t listen. He’s too proud. The ego is too big to fit inside his practice.
Fast forward to today. I’m still miserable. I am at the point of wanting these fucking things out of my mouth. I have had enough inaction. It’s time to actually act and do something.
I met with my oral surgeon. Explained the newfound allergy. Told him I’m miserable. And that I do not trust that idiot anymore. They wouldn’t help me with materials for allergy testing. My wife had to contact HIS supplier for a sample.
Got it within 3 days.

Fuck you, you lazy piece of shit. Thanks for nothing.
Literally. No. Thanks for making me spend all this energy in figuring out what’s wrong. 1 month after the implant failed the pain wasn’t going away.
I started to text this idiot “Is it possible I am allergic to some of the material used?” “Impossible” was the response.
Guess what asshat. You are wrong again.
At least you are consistent at something. I’ll give you that.

I had more patch testing done this week. An acrylic sample. The same material used to make the prosthesis. Negative. Or at least no skin reaction. Tomorrow is the last piece of the puzzle. Zirconium.
This is the only other implant material that’s used. I am down to two options here:
Remove all the metal from my mouth and go with zirconia implants, and restoration.
Remove the metal from my mouth and go with dentures.
I’m at the end of my rope dealing with this. I’m in 30k debt because of some inept idiot who I thought I could trust.
I give trust too easily to people. Guess it’s time to just be an asshole. Hopefully I am not allergic to zirconia. But I can tel you this. I’m allergic to blatant ignorance. Thank god for my oral surgeon. He’s the only one who has listened.
