Dr. Hall,
\nI had 2 zirconia crowns put in during December 2019. Since then I\u2019ve had a dry sticky tongue along with a burning in my throat. I\u2019ve been to 3 ENT Doctors. Acid reflux was ruled out, mouthwash ruled out and the 3rd doctor said it\u2019s burning mouth syndrome. My dentist said there\u2019s been no allergy associated with zirconia. It\u2019s now July 2020 and if anything it\u2019s gotten worse. I need more dental work but that\u2019s out of the question. I had lingual nerve damage that took a year to go away caused by dental work. I wish someone here had ideas. This has caused not only discomfort and pain but also depression.<\/p>\n
One additional comment. During this last procedure a laser was used for tooth extension. Drilling of course was also done During this procedure a lot of water was used to protect surrounding teeth. I had difficulty breathing and had to stop the procedure as I regurgitated water. This put a great strain on my throat and I\u2019m wondering if a connection is there. This has also affected speech. Please go away!<\/p>\n
