My OLP started after I got a mouthguard for TMJ and grinding at night, and dental work to rebuild a cracked tooth. After another suggestion re: possible silicone reaction, I've stopped using the mouthguard. But now I'm curious whether the material used in the tooth repair may have triggered it. Where do I go to test this? Dermatologist?

@hem1959 I did chemical testing with a dermatologist pathologist. Also some immunologist allergists can do I believe. Teaching institution based physicians are the easiest to find these specialized physicians
