5 years ago it happened to me after dental extractions, but I didnt make the correlation. We have hindsight now. I broke out in hives over my entire body for 4 years!! I went to a nauturopath, they said it was mild gluten and dairy allergies? so....I went off dairy and gluten and it seem to get worse over time. FINALLY went to another naturopath that actually did blood test and said I was allergic to everything in the GLUTENFREE product! sheesh! no wonder it got worse! the hives seem to go away eventually when I quit eating GF labeled food...(containing tapioca,rice,corn etc) so itch free for almost a year and eating dairy and gluten. (We may never know what caused it and what fed it) Now....I dont think the hives originally had ANYTHING to do with food. I think it was dental, I just didnt know then. Now Ive broken out in hives again! its been 6 weeks or more, ironically after several dental appointments for extractions, cleaning, fillings etc. I have researched everything as well including the injections (Novacaine?) and none of it seems to be the culpret. I am self diagnosing thinking its systemic infection? Doctors just think we are crazy and want to check for scabies, autoimmune, lupus....ugh. I guess thats why they call it Medical PRACTICE! Going to have blood tests done to check for systemic infection or ?

do you think it is infection kicked up and enters the blood stream or something? I have had the same experience 2xs now. It seems common but dentist think we are crazy. Ive researched everything, the shots the filling, the mouthrinse, How are you. Did you get any resolve or relief?

hi i got into it in 2009 for the first time i dont think it was dental at that time but it went off after 6 months. it came coming with the passage of time in 2014 it came again and lasted for 7 months. but in 2013 i had root canals for right last two molars and my doctor told me one molar wasnt dead before he filled the cavaity. after that i ate every medicine on this planet for allergy LOL. it never went away. in 2009 i went to a special clinic in Islamabad Pakistan they have skin specialists they took every test and in the end suggested me that i have a blood infection and i have to take strong antibiotics (though it never helped). what i myself figured out was that in my case it is triggered by stress and fatigue plus home sickness. and the second cause is dental abscess. get ur self a proper dental check up and rule it out . third one is a virus test which sits in ur stomach lining and remain hidden causing body to produce more white blood cells which starts fighting against ur body hence producing hives (producing symptoms). My suggestion is just eat healthy get ur daily routine set do not miss a a meal. Eat everything with out any fear that it will cause hives. do go to a dentist. Ask him or her to take xrays of molars. if you had extractions ask him or her to open up it and check if the infection has gone or not. go for the stool test for stomach lining virus named (h.pylori virus). and do not get depressed get ur self out of any stress (it can be money , housing etc ) and never get depressed if they come out on ur face . I want to inculde my mother had the same problem last year she is around 50 years old for the first time and it was because of a broken molar with abscess.
thanks and do update me if it is helpful for you

I have very similar symptoms , hives on face and watery right eye. I had abscess on route canal that was not competed correctly about15 years ago and slowly infecting me I presume ever since, just had this tooth pulled along with the cyst. I am curious did your hives end after your treatment of tooth removal?

I have just experienced an outbreak of hives. I also have two cavities that need to be treated but that I have put off due to life. My stomach also has been feeling weird but aside from that no other symptoms. Fortunately I an just leaving for my dentist appointment and I hope that my problems will be resolved.

Infected teeth can definitely cause hives. So can chronic sinus infections.
I had a history of severe chronic sinus infections, chronic bronchitis caused by infectious nasal mucus passing into the lower respiratory tract, and asthma. I also have many allergies.
About 15 years ago, I developed a severe outbreak of hives with major swelling of the face. It was similar to one I had several years before that went on for months, unresponsive to antihistamines, steroids, major dietary changes, and so on, before disappearing for no apparent reason.
When I went to an allergist the second time, he said, "You are going to think I'm crazy, but I want you to have a CT scan of your sinuses. There's evidence in the literature that chronic sinusitis can cause long term outbreaks of hives and angioedema. What I'm seeing when I look into your nose suggests that you may have a longstanding infection in your sinuses that could be causing your hives.
When the scan results were in, the allergist immediately referred me to an ENT, saying that all of the sinuses were severely infected, and that sinus surgery would not only reduce my respiratory problems, but would probably clear up my hives and angioedema.
The ENT looked at the scan results and called my internist to report that I had the worst case of chronic sinus infection that she had ever seen in all her years of practice. She recommended very delicate computer assisted sinus surgery. To prepare for the surgery, she put me on a prolonged course of Zithromax, two antihistamines, and steroids. She also had me go for an MRI that required wearing a special helmet during the test; I was to bring the helmet on the day of surgery and wear it during the procedure. The surgeon would insert instruments through an incision inside my nose, and guide them using the "map" created by the helmet. She would clean out each of the sinuses, cut down the enlarged turbinate, and so on.
The surgery went well. While some patients go home the same day, I was kept in the hospital overnight because of my history of asthma. I had no pain at all following the surgery and, despite having had a general anesthetic, I was able to walk around and eat a little that evening. That first night, I was uncomfortable because of all the packing in my nose to prevent bleeding. It was scary for me to have to breathe through my mouth, which made me very anxious, even though inhalers were controlling any tendency to wheeze. But in the morning, the doctor removed some of the packing, and I was discharged that afternoon. I looked rather silly; the remaining packing in my nose had strings attached for easy removal, and the black strings were taped to my face, giving me the appearance of a strange sort of cat with whiskers. But I felt surprisingly well.
I had to return for followup visits, first to remove the packing and then for a series of minor office-based procedures to remove any scar tissue that was developing.
What was amazing, however, was that my voice, which had become deeper and raspy over the past several years because of the sinus infections and bronchitis, returned to its previous feminine pitch. And as for hives, they never recurred until now, fifteen years later. I had very few episodes of sinus infections over the past fifteen years, and only in the past few years began to get yearly episodes of long-lasting bronchitis. The doctor told me that I might need a second surgery in about twenty years, and I may now be seeing the first signs of what may happen in a few more years, though this is by no means sure.
Two days ago, I broke out in a small number of hives for the first time in fifteen years; there was no angioedema. My initial reaction was that the hives were a reaction to some Chinese food that I ate that evening. Although I never had any allergy problems with Chinese food or MSG for most of my life, and had enjoyed Chinese food both in the U.S. and in China, I had been noticing for the past two years that I was getting violent sneezing episodes shortly after eating meals in Chinese restaurants or after consuming take-out. I felt that I was probably experiencing a new allergy, though I didn't want to admit it and give up foods like dumplings and eggplant in garlic sauce. I THINK that the hives were an escalation of my allergic response, however, and that I should not continue to eat at Chinese restaurants.
HOWEVER, I am noticing that my hives are not disappearing quickly. As it happens, I have an infected tooth at the moment. A dentist has recommended a root canal, followed by a crown. The total cost, even with dental insurance, would be between $1500 and $2000, which would be prohibitive for me, as I am 71 and living on Social Security. The alternative is for me to wait until the tooth dies, and have it extracted, which would be much cheaper, unless I want to have a costly implant to maintain the spacing and appearance of my teeth. As a result, I am waiting. Is the tooth infection causing the hives? Or are they related to the Chinese food? Or might they mean that my sinuses are infected again? I simply don't know. I am hoping that these hives will simply go away and not recur, but I have a nagging suspicion that I may not have seen the last of them.

Dear all, I am a scientific researcher (although not in medical science). I went to see if there are any scientific articles that link abscess with hives and there are "Chronic Urticaria Due to Abscessed Teeth Roots".
So if your doctor or dentist does not believe you, just print this article (it is a paying article, but the title should be enough) and respectfully show them that these symptoms can be linked according to medical science. One downside: it is an old medical article from 1982. As far as I know, articles that stay published after many years without being retreated are deemed worthy and still valid. Maybe this can help. Cheers! I also had a question: are there people who experience other allergic symptoms who also have abscesses and sinus infections caused by the tooth infections? I am experiencing sudden throat swelling and breathlessness and I have no idea where it comes from. If you have experienced anything similar or know anyone who has please let me know!!!

I am tearing up reading these reply’s , I had a root canal early June of 2016 , 3 days later I developed blisters around my mouth , I didn’t think much of it at the time. It has now been 3 years and I have been suffering from blisters all over my body ,face and mouth and extremely severe itching which have left scars and discoloration and ive taken hundreds of medication and hundreds of tests , I was told I have gluten intolorence although gluten has never been a problem and has come up negative on the results of blood tests, I was put on cortisone and been on it for almost 2 years most recent cortisone which has caused all my hair and nails to fall out and studden weight loss , I was 78 kilos went down to 57 kilos in the span of a few months. So I am basically living hell on earth and I have been trying my best to stay positive but I have felt so alone in my suffering and this forum has helped me greatly. So went to the dentist and he said I have an infection where I did my root canel almost over 3 years ago and next week Ill be RIPING THAT CURSE OUT , I pray to god it is the reason for this mysterious problem and awful burden I’ve been facing. Please keep me in your prayers and I shall do the same as this is something not even my worst enemies should go through

Hey, just needed to ask was it the tooth that caused your hives to trigger or anything else?

I recently had a root canal and was told there was an infection in the tooth. I was given an antibiotic. About 3 days after finishing the antibiotic, I broke out in a rash. It is now 7 weeks later and I am still getting hives that come and go. I am ready to rip off my skin! I have had no new foods or soaps and I still have occasional pain in the tooth. I am convinced the hives are a reaction to what is going on in my tooth. A dermatologist gave me a course of prednisone but the hives are still coming. There aren't a lot of them; but, their itch makes it feel like they are everywhere. HELP!

For all those suffering from hives I definitely want to say is that a tooth decay definitely is one of the causes for hives which normally goes unthought of by many of us..this has been my personal experience since I started getting hives more than 8 years back and I thought it was because of something I ate and I eliminated almost all foods from my diet trying to find the cause of this. But all the exercise in vain and the hives continued..till after almost 8 months I decided to visit the dentist after reading all the messages that a tooth decay is also a possible cause of hives..and yes...since I treated my decayed tooth the hives reduced considerably. Hence I request all of u out there with hives to please consider tooth decay as a most likely cause of hives as well and please get yourself checked by a dentist for the same..I hope this helps as it helped me.

Some advice:Cream to help the itching go away for a short period is DiluCORT, and taking Septoguard tablets( a natural Antibiotic) also minimizes the itching, after using them for a while.

I'm going through the same thing. Woke up 2 days ago with toothache within 2 days it got so bad the pain and my whole side of jaw down my neck got so tight from the swelling felt like it was going to bust. As time went on I started taking antibiotics and took about 4hrs and pain slightly better and swelling minimize very little. Couldn't sleep and trying to lay down felt like I couldn't breathe. Next morning my swelling starting going down and pain had really eased up. So as day went on and taking more antibiotics everything got better. Still had small amount of swelling and very tender to touch my jaw down to throat. Later in night went to bathroom and noticed my throat, neck was looking red splotchy came to room and had my husband look at it. I we were trying to see how bad are what was going on, I grabbed my phone and Google it. This has really scared me the whole thing since day one but now I'm concerned about the red on my throat. It's the weekend so of course no dentist open till. Monday so I was praying maybe someone had experienced this themselves. Please any information would be so helpful. Thanks everyone, and hope everyone is feeling better.
