Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hi Everyone, Somewhat on the same subject...I took my daughter to the dentist today and was told that her frequent fevers could hamper the development of her permenant teeth - that they may be malformed. Has anyone had this experience?

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 My oldest daughter has had a number of dental issues we think are related to her high fevers () and/or the medications she was on as a premie. She is 10 years old and has had at least 10 root canals and crowns. She has also had to have two appliances to hold spaces due to teeth having to be pulled prematurely. My kids don't eat candy or gum (not even sugar free). 's front tooth came in with a hole in the center of it, we had to have it filled when she was 18 months old. It was not related to sleeping with a bottle because she never took a bottle, she was breastfed exclusively for the first year and then food and sippy cups were added. She only had milk and water in her cup and never took it to bed with her. She had a root canal and crown this past Wednesday. We have over $10,000 in her baby teeth. Holly White Dental issues Hi Folks, Has any one ever made a correlation between auto inflamatory disorders like HIDs and TRAPS and dental issues? I took Hana to the dentist yesterday with painful teeth, swollen gums and a low grade fever. Sure enough she had 2 abcesses in teeth that recently had fillings-very superficial ones. Our dentist was floored and said he's never encountered such an over reaction (the death of a tooth nerve and subsequent infection) due to a minor filling. Maybe with a very deep filling close to the nerve, but not such a minor thing. He is a superb dentist who actually was familiar with HIDs when we first met him 6 months ago. He actually is reasearching this issue and said he would write up a case report on Hana's abcesses if he thinks they are related at all to HIDs. (I wish our MD's were this interested in HIDs!) Any one ever see anything written on this subject or experienced something similar? I'm not talking the usual lots-of-cavities issues that so many kids-with or without fevers seem to have in our sugar filled world, but a blatant over reaction of the immune system on basic dental procedures. Any thoughts? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Holly, Thanks for your reply. What a nightmare for ! I will pass your message onto my dentist. And you seem like a very disciplined person to not give in to candy or gum or even juices ocassionally. I use the " I'm exhausted because my kids are always fevering so i'm going to give them sweets to appease them for a while " excuse too often. I'll give it another try knowing that there is another Mom who successfully sticks by the no candy rules!

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 WOW! Disciplined is right!! Please be sure to document everything. Keeping good records is key! So many of these PFS are yet to be diagnosed. All the information you provide to the doctors can help with diagnosing these diseases. Keep up the great work!!! ltwilke <ltwilke@...> wrote: Holly, Thanks for your reply. What a nightmare for ! I will pass your message onto my dentist.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hi , had the same thing done last year. I stated with him until they gave him a shot (he wouldn't drink the other stuff). It was hard since he was a little scared but it wasn't to bad. It also took a long time to wake up in recovery so I was a little worried. The medicine seemed to last a long time with and it took about 5 hours from waking up for him to be able to walk around and talk enough for us to go home. He wasn't upset or angry just very quiet and huggy. I am glad we had it done and I am really glad he got his molars coated. He cannot sit still for the dentist to give him a good cleaning so I think we will have to do something like this every couple of years. does brush well and he will even let me floss for him so hopefully no more cavities in the near future. Could you call your dentist and ask what usually happens so you know where you will leave him and how long it usually takes etc..? Our dentist was very helpful. I hope it goes well, Kellie From: "angnjake0115@..." <angnjake0115@...>autism Sent: Wed, October 7, 2009 8:45:33 AMSubject: Dental issues Hey everyone.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I have also had problems with opening my jaw for many years. I have SMA II, and about 10 years ago it got to the point where the dentist could not work on my teeth and it was becoming difficult to even get food in my mouth. Another dentist recommended a device called Therabite, which gradually stretches the jaw over a period of time. He had never used it before on someone with a neuromuscular disorder, but was willing to give it a try. After using it diligently for about two months, my jaw opening about doubled in size. While the dentist still has limited access to my teeth, it is much better than before. I still use the device twice a day just to maintain the opening that I gained. The Therabite website is at: _http://www.atosmedical.com/Corporate/Focus_areas/Mouth_and_Jaw/The_TheraBite_Sy\ stem.aspx/_ (http://www.atosmedical.com/Corporate/Focus_areas/Mouth_and_Jaw/The_TheraBite_Sy\ stem.aspx /) . Hope this might be of some help. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 By the way, my doc is sending me out to an integrative dentist to see if I have any dental problems that could be a chronic drain on my immune system. How do these devices stand up against those types of issues? I have 2 or 3 amalgam fillings. No root canals. No pain. Just chasing loose threads. ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 , Xylitol and soda are good for tooth infections. Kills bacteria that form plaque that causes gingivitis (separation of the gums from the root). Also, godzilla between the gums and teeth on both sides of your mouth, or sponges on both cheeks, will kill it fast. But it will come back, just like it will with antibiotics. Sometimes the only way to cure tooth and jawbone infections is extractions. 1/2 inch thick, Ocello sponges are the kind I use. Buy at any grocer or Target. Don't get the ones with scrubbers on one side. Wet with warm water and squeeze them out against the wash bowl so they don't drip.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 , I don't know about that. I've used the Godzilla very successfully for tooth and root infections and they have not come back. So long as you repeat your sessions one or two more times after the original one I have never had a relapse. Bob Re: Dental issues > , > > Xylitol and soda are good for tooth infections.
