Re: Dennis - Sjogren's/Dental Trouble

[Guest guest]

Dennis:

In the past 24 hours, I have lost 3 pieces of a molar. The only

thing that seems to be left of the tooth is the filling in the

middle!!! I cannot wait to get it pulled, because it's so sore.

I brush throughout the day, and was told to use a non-alcohol based

mouth wash. I rinse with that as well, but despite all that effort,

my teeth are falling and crumbling faster than I can keep up with

it.

I asked my dentist about trying to save the teeth that are crumbling,

and she told me that I was fighting a losing battle. Sjogren's is

infamous for causing teeth to decay and crumble at a very fast rate.

So....look like I will get another molar pulled, and eventually, I

too will need a new pair of choppers! I will pass on the oak ones,

and go for something a bit more natural looking....LOL
