I am suffering with extremely stiff joints, painful hands, wrists, elbows, shoulder, and most of all feet. I truly believe my teeth are causing these problems. I have several teeth that are capped and I truly believe there is bacteria under there. I also get terrible hives and my face, lips, mouth, tongue, roof of mouth, and throat swell. Sometimes my throat swells up and I always end up in the emergency room. I do not have insurance so the hsopital trips are horrendous. Does anyone agree with me that all of this could be due to bad teeth?

Bad teeth is a possibility or a reaction or allergy to the metal and/or material the crowns are made of, or maybe tmj. You can ask a dr like an internist or nutritionist to do metal testing or look into detoxing programs or search for a holistic dentist since they are trained in treating the body and teeth together.

I think that bad teeth are not the likeliest explanation for your symptoms. It's not impossible, but I think that some sort of allergic reaction or autoimmune disease is more likely.

Bacteria under the crowns? Bacteria is everywhere. If you mean decay under the crowns then your teeth would usually have symptoms. You've mentioned going to the ER, but have you seen a dentist? It's not likely your symptoms are due to those teeth.
