Guess I should google it, but is it an urban legend that dentists die by suicide at alarming rates? Seems to me most of your patients are either afraid or at least would rather be anywhere else. Sometimes you would hurt people by mistake. You spend your day drilling and flossing disgusting smelly mouths. Seems awful.
Lol realtors. Always.
lolā¦ I totally never didnāt go to the dentist for like 10 years. Nope, not me.
Iād need to see evidence. Gold is one of the most inert of metals. Seems like itād be very unlikely someone could be allergic to it.
Bioengineers love that shit. The human body hates most materials.
Itās usually an allergy to a nickel or other impurity in the gold.
JFK is getting a 2nd aircraft carrier named after him and LBJ only got a destroyer. Thatās some bullshit.
I finally tried ChatGPT. Holy shit it makes research easy.
Although it may just be cribbing wikipedia on both of these.
Thatās probably true with jewelry, but Iād hope a dentist is using 100% pure shit.
Hereās one case report I just googled. Didnāt read more than the abstract. Iāve got no doubt that it is rare. But I do doubt that it is completely non-existent.
Pretty good chance thatās what itās doing AFAIK (and similar sites), and I think itās only up to date as of 2021, but thereās still some utility in it. Gotta be careful though because sometimes itās straight up wrong
Yeah hereās its answer on the spiciest thing in the Old World before Columbus. Notice it gets it wrong then figures it out.

Iād be surprised if it helps much with research given that you still need to fact check all of this stuff. Iāve tried a few questions from my own discipline and itās ranged from reasonable answers to flat out falsehoods.
Latest hot take from my wife: āI donāt understand why people like Scarlet Johansson. She looks like Phoebe Dynevor [from Bridgerton].ā
I bet if she went back in time 20 years ago, she wouldnāt understand why people with discerning taste considered Jennifer Love Hewitt a goddess.
I didnāt want to press the point, but A) ScaJo doesnāt look like Phoebe whoever, and B) I wouldnāt exactly kick Phobe out of bed for eating crackers.
Canāt use 100% gold as that is not strong enough. Expensive gold fillings are mosty gold mixed with another expensive mostly inert metal. Cheap ones are not even 50% gold and mixed with all kinds of metals.
All the lawbros on this forum and we donāt have one dentist?

Interesting. I guess that might make allergy to a āgoldā filling more likely as there are more potential allergens. I am also assuming that there arenāt a lot of impurities per se. That is, the other metals in the filling are known and put in there intentionally. But it sounds like the cheaper ones may have some true impurities.
