Post-dental work allergy?!

Post-dental work allergy?

Hello. Last year I got a root canal and porcelain crown. I spent months with a tight, almost numb throat, with alot of thick mucus production. Yesterday I received the temporary crown for another tooth (no root canal), but then this morning woke up with the same gunky numb feeling. Is this some sort of allergy? And if so, to what? Is it the glue for the temp crown, or the temp crown itself? While some of the anesthesias can make me feel sick - that usually passes in a few hours. I'd rather not go through several months more of that feeling. It was terrifying last year, but now I'm just really uncomfortable. Prefer dental or allergist response. Thanks!

Haven't contacted the dentist, as they are closed for the weekend. Last year I went to the doctor and had tons of useless tests done, and all they could find was an elevated white blood cell count (i.e. allergy). But now that its happening again, it must be related in some way.

This is not a normal reaction. Have you spoken to your doctor about it? Have you tried taking any over the counter alergy meds like Benedryl to see if that makes a difference? You should really be seen by the doc in any case.
