I've been having troubles since my surgery with my teeth. Seems everytime I

go to the dentist...(every 6 mos) I have to have something done....chips,

cavities...etc. I asked my dentist if it could be due to the bypass....and

he said " definitely. " Besides the nutritional aspects, he said we tend to

have drier mouths, and the teeth need to be bathed in saliva to keep them

healthy. Now, I am facing two new crowns....Ugh....if it isn't one thing,

it's your mother! Anyone want to volunteer to donate towards the national

debt incurred by my mouth??? LOL!

Oh, and BTW, , you KNOW which vites I take....and calcium.

One thing that I have heard is that it our oral health could be adversely

affected due to the fact that we do not drink with or after our meals. The

food doesn't get " washed " off the teeth. A good reason to brush and floss

after every meal; but with several " mini-meals " per day, it's quite a

challenge.

I didn't have bypass (I'm a VBGers). My teeth haven't had any problems

in my 3 years post op except for one small cavity between the teeth (flossing

or drinking probably would have prevented that one). I suspect that the

nutritional issues surrounding the bypass DO play some role in the dental

problems that folks are experiencing, though the drinking theory is an

interesting one also.

Hey...great idea...you think that will work? I love Trident SF Cinnamon..and

chew it now and then, because I do have a dry mouth, and can't always have my

jug of water...not always convenient..ya know! So, maybe I'll just pop in a

stick of gum after a snack...will be going through tons of it. Thanks for

the idea~
