Guest guest Posted March 11, 2000 Report Share Posted March 11, 2000 Connie, Can't wait to see you in Gettysburg. We have so many redheads in our group. I remember being at NIH and was looking for ? ( I think Marleen), but she told me I'd recognize her by her red hair. When I got there, there was a sea of women with red hair. Wonder if Lyme likes red hair or something. Just teasing. Talk to you soon. I agree the Zith helped me the most, but its so expensive. I do smoke, but the stains never occurred before I got Lyme. And I brush at least 6 times a day, maybe more because of the thrush always making my mouth feel so yucky! Don't worry about the cursing, its a good way to express yourself, I used to be a bartender and I'm very used to it, and my husband works around the navy a lot, so he uses the F word on a regular basis, I have to remind him not to when my son is around. Its just so natural for some people. And big deal, they are only words. Talk to you soon. Vicki, Md >From: Cslyme@... > >Hi Vicki, > I know what you mean about teeth.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2000 Report Share Posted October 13, 2000 Hi everyone, s second teeth were late coming in. I asked the Dr. if the prednisone (which stunted growth) could affect the development of the teeth being delayed, he said yes I could be right, I t kind of makes sense to me if the steroids are stunting the growth in the body(bones) etc it must be affecting development of teeth...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2000 Report Share Posted October 13, 2000 i am still on the prednisone, down to 2.5 today, for treatment of my kidney disease. in the past few weeks several of my teeth have been bugging me, very sensitive. could this be because of the prednisone? i have never had teeth trouble before, only 1 cavity my whole life and now i look in my mouth and think i have 2 all of a sudden. thanks, brandy _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 For those of you with sensitive teeth and sore jaws from grinding your teeth when you sleep, try this for about a week, and I think you will have some relief. It works for me. Buy a mouth guard at WalMart or KMart in the sporting goods department. Follow the instructions about forming it to your bite. Then, wear it to bed for the night. It sounds crazy, but believe me it works. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Debby, You are very fortunate that your mouth guard was so low in cost. I checked with the dentist to get one for me and it is $500.00 and the insurance isnt going to pick up any of it!!!. If things go as they are I will be having all caps on my front teeth. I did buy one of those mouth guards that fit to your mouth at a sporting goods store, my problem was i grit my teeth so bad i made my gums sort of raw from it. It was for the top and bottom teeth and cost about $5.00 here in Illinois. I havent used it for awhile but i may go back to it again soon.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 LC, I cannot believe a mouth guard would be so much unless you live in a big city! WOW....I am going to try the one at WalMart. I heard on a TV program that those are just as good as what is done at the dentist! debby Re: [ ] teethFor those of you with sensitive teeth and sore jawsfrom grinding your teeth when you sleep, try this forabout a week, and I think you will have some relief.It works for me.Buy a mouth guard at WalMart or KMart in the sportinggoods department.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 There are differences in mouth guards. I have been grinding my teeth for years and have gone through many mouth guards. Here in MN we can pay any where from$60.00 to $500.00. I have also looked at the ones at Walmart. The ones you get at Walmart are thick and hard to keep in your mouth while you sleep and hard to talk with while in. I find that the dentist here in a small town charges 60 and my sisters dentist in big town charges 500. They have come a long way with how they shape them now. Mayo clinic has started making them so that they only cover a very thin layer of the plastic on just a few of your front teeth and it is enough to stop the grinding with TMJ. The one I have I could where all day and no one would ever know I have one in. Again it only cost me 60 in my small town. I would check around if I were you guys to see if you can find some better prices. Also keep in mind to ask if they will give you the mold after words. This will help so that you can have another one made when needed. Anyway that is what I know on the subject and I hope it helps.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Hi , Sorry for the delay. I feel like I'm a broken record LOL I use that floss already & yes it is good. I now use the silky one as it doesn't catch as much as the Ultra. The electric toothbrushes have been too harsh on my teeth. I've been hearing about ionic being the best. Any comments anyone on electric toothbrushes? Thanks & Happy Tuesday : ) Re: Re: a step at a time Hey ! No problem I still go to the holistic dentist in Quebec (it's only a 20min drive from my place anyways). I honestly don't know if there is one here in Ottawa, but Hull is only 5 minutes from downtown. The expanding floss is from Oral B. I bought it at Walmart but have seen it other places too. It is called UltraFloss and you can really feel the difference. It is a little more expensive but I think it is worth it. My Electric toothbrush replaced my Excel 3D very quickly. It is called Rota-dent... that too makes you feel a difference! like walking out of the dentist office. *8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Do you have osteoporosis? You should get a bone density scan to check on that possibility, given your dental problems. Are you taking Prednisone? That can damage teeth. Could you have celiac disease? Tooth damage is common among people with CD. CD affects about 1% of the U.S. population. People with one autoimmune disease have a higher incidence. CD is pretty much symptom-free in half the people who have it, so it's seriously under-diagnosed. Because it prevents absorption of nutrients, including calcium, teeth and bones are affected. You can find more information on celiac.com I'm sorry you're having these problems. Best wishes.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 That is one of the big problems with having these 2 diseases... I am 38 and had to have my teeth removed almost 2 years ago, and also be careful with all your bones, cause they snap in an instant, i have had a broken ankle and broken ribs. A week ago friday, i had an emergency with my dad, we almost lost him, he had esophus varises, they put bands on the veins to stop the bleeding and it did. He was in ICU for5 days, then a reg room for 3 more. iI brought him back to his home on friday. But he also has ASCITES and is was tapped that thursday and removed 5 liters of liquid, but is still large and is in his feet and ankles. Looks like when he goes to doctors this friday he will be tapped again if it doesn't go down. It is scary to see what i have to look forward to. flatcat9@... wrote: Do you have osteoporosis?

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hi, -- My teeth went downhill, and my dentist wasn't surprised--given the disease and it's medication. Finally, I could no longer stand the very attractive toothless look and got dentures. I HATE them but can't think of any other way to go. Eating is difficult; talking is clumsy; and I always feel like I have a couple of rocks in my mouth. I have them tweaked regularly, but I'm still having a hard time. BUT I know people who have tnem and get along very well-- you'd never know they had dentures. I really hope you'll be one of those lucky ones!! Good luck! in OR PS--If anyone has any suggestions on how to get along better with dentures--PLEASE!! Speak up!! > > Hi everyone. I have lots of questions, but today I'll just address one > of them.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 My teeth aren't so good either. Just this afternoon a part of my back-tooth broke of and a few months ago I realized that the outer part of my teeth. How do you explain that the end of the tooth are getting lighter, almost see through. Very strange. So that might have to do with the prednisone? More luck? Well first I'll call a dentist tomorrow to get that broken back-tooth fixed. Very strange.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I can't speak for AIH treatment but the treatment for HCV really does a number on the teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 JJ, How are you today? Hope you're having a good day. For HCV, it is the drugs we take -- peginterferon -- that play havoc with the immune system and our teeth and you are correct that the virus itself does its thing. Science is just really finding out about the virus and where it hides, where it goes, what it does -- there are many extra hepatic manifestations. Doing a number on the teeth is one of them! :-) I have a strange case in that my AIH/HCV combination has produced ALT/AST levels that are really not all that high -- between 70-110 usually. I would imagine with AIH the liver enzymes would be higher? Is this true? If one has AIH isn't the disease constantly on the march unless, of course, you're taking the medications to control it? What are people's enzymes like that just get diagnosed and are not on Prednisone and Imuran (sp)? My AIH was diagnosed by a biopsy -- certain specific cells were present, which added one nail to the coffin. My ANA and the other blood tests for AIH are always negative. The peginterferon produced a rash ... it does in everyone who takes it ... that appeared to be a malar rash but it has dissipated. I guess I am wondering if I even have AIH and diagnosis it difficult. I have a very good liver doctor, a hepatologist. It boggles the mind sometimes. Hope everyone is doing well today and we'll all pull through this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gurgled my mouth with clove tea for a while and it seems to be helping my cavities. It tastes good and is easy to make and keeps in the fridge for a few days.
