Default sick after dental cleaning?

This happened to me -and my 10 year old. Me- last year I got sick with flu like symptoms for about 3 days after -felt like got hit by a "mack truck".

Yesterday 10 yo son had the first cleaning he's had in about a year and a half (UNFORTUNATELY!) and last night he threw up 3 or 4 times according to dh.

I wonder what I can do to help him .

My holistic dentist office says that regular dentists often have this reaction. His office instead uses laser something I can't think what it is, and it minimizes these reactions, but he is not a children's dentist so I took him to a regular pediatric dentist.

anyone else's kid have this reaction?

edited to say The holistic dentist uses "ozone" .

Default Re: sick after dental cleaning?

i'm confused did you go to a holistic dentist and then had a reaction? or did you go to a regular one?

anyways, here are some common reasons for the reactions:

1. picking up a virus in the waiting room, from staff, etc. sadly this is the issue with going to appointments

2. reaction to products used by the dentist: aspartame, preservatives, dyes, fluoride, BPA are just some of the common ingredients in products that may be used.

3. if you have metal fixtures, anything from fillings to bridges/crowns, to retainers, a cleaning will release an amount of metal. this may cause a stress and an immune-mediated reaction. flu-like symptoms are common

Speaking of *my* reaction- I went to a regular dentist last year. I think 2. and 3. in your answers above would probably hit the nail on the head, for me.

Son went to a regular dentist and all he had done was cleaning with the scraper instrument--he couldn't stand the polishing with toothpaste . And he hadn't been to the dentist in quite a while, so I think the bacteria that she scraped off his teeth might have gotten into his tummy--that's what dh thinks.

Our gums can harbor pretty large bacterial colonies. If they are disturbed via cleaning, particularly flossing or ultrasonic gum cleaning, then all those toxins are released.

A way to help this would be to take activated charcoal and calcium bentonite before and after a cleaning. Stay hydrated.

Also...did you get the liquid flouride? Did you swallow even the tiniest bit of it? Because that will cause queasiness!

My oldest got really sick with strep after a root canal. I called the dentist and they said it wasn't related. They said it couldn't happen. Our doctor said yes...it happens a lot. Our doc said the dentist should have automatically given antibiotics.

Interestingly my dad had work done and his dentist put him on antibiotics immediately.

The fluoride always made me sick when I was younger.
