Hello!
My question mainly concerns the placement of posts as a tooth replacement. Five months ago, after lengthy treatment of a tooth and the pulp, I had a post placed in the gum and an artificial tooth fitted over it. After a few days, however, I developed health problems in the form of dizziness that have not stopped, despite additional examinations at the neurology clinic and the ear-disease clinic. Not everything has yet been completely ruled out, but I would like to know whether there is any possibility that this occurred because of the metal post? Could there have been some allergy or is my body perhaps rejecting it (as some people cannot tolerate earrings made of nickel)? I have not yet contacted my doctor, and I am scheduled to have another tooth repaired, but only in one month. That is why I am turning to you with this question.
I would be very grateful for your answer.
Kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam!
I assume you are referring to the placement of dental implants in the jawbone. Implants are made of titanium and cannot cause an allergy. I believe the problems you describe are not directly related to the procedure.
Have a nice day!
