Receding teeth related to thyroid gland

[Guest guest]

HI

Having been to the Dentist yesterday I have now been told that my gums are

receding and exposing the roots. Ihave been told that I am brushing too hard and

too many times. However I only brush twice a day and due to the painful muscles

have not been able to brush hard. I also informed her that I have problems with

calcium, and not able to take thyroxine, that I am on steroids, and that I have

Gynae problems and Polymyalgia.

I do not believe her diagnoses on overbrushing.

I use Kingfisher Fennel fluoride free toothpaste.

I have also had problems with calcium carbonate as a vitamin, but they also put

this in all toothpaste which is an abrasive. I have also come across the fact

that some people ate allergic to Sodium Lauryl sulphate.

I also suffer from a dry mouth at night and after my pregnancies years back I

had too have a lot of fillings and also had gum disease. At age 18 I also had to

have a lot of fillings and got an infection and had to use salt water to get rid

of it as it caused my face to be swollen.

My Daughter who also has thyroid problem was also told when she was young that

she was brushing her teethe too hard.

Could it be also caused by calcium being drawn from the bones. Both me and my

Daughters had misaligned teethe. Both my parents had to have all their teethe

removed due to gum disease and both had untreated thyroid problems.

It appears our Dentists cannot diagnose or help us once they know our problems

either.

Hi Kathleen:

You could try oil pulling...which has been known to help eleviate tooth pain,

etc.:

Years ago I had a few teeth where the gums were beginning to recede but about

that time I started taking iodine and I was not aware that this would help, but

it also helped with a sensitive root canal I had done. Iodine is known to help

tooth problems and strengthen the teeth.

Cheers,

This thread should be continued on the CHAT group and I have

passed it over to there.
