Re: Hot Weather ugh!

[Guest guest]

I must admit that while I felt at first the Xolair injection I received on

June 28th (my first) wasn't of any benefit, I have just noticed that I

haven't had to use prednisone in the past two weeks at all, and our weather here

in

PA has been cool, damp and rainy, which generally doesn't agree with me.

I had a tooth with a root canal previously done break on me two weeks ago,

and this past Monday had to undergo a root canal on the next tooth to it, as

it also had a crack in it and had abscessed. I can't help but wonder if my

constant usage of prednisone throughout the years has done something to my

teeth,

as at 49 years of age, I shouldn't have had so many root canals (5 in total)

done already.

Any thoughts?

I hope it isn't true about pred. and tooth problems. I hope others

on this list tell us if they have had an excess number of tooth

problems that might be from the use of Pred. I have not had any

changes in my teeth for years,.. so I donot think the Pred. affects

my teeth at all.I'm a tad over 49.

Since prednisone can cause brittle bones, I would not be surprised

if it could cause tooth problems as well, except that I don't think

that your teeth regenerate the same way that your bones do.

Having said that, I got my first crown this year at age 41.

However, it was in a tooth that had a large filling in it, and my

dentist told me that it was no surprise, especially the way my teeth

mesh. I haven't had a cavity in over 20 years.

My gut feeling is that pred does not affect your teeth.

i'm guessing my tooth issues are from the use of pred and high doses

of inhaled steroids...but i've had two root canals, and this past

winter (when i was on the highest dose of inhaled steroids and spent

ten days at 60 mg pred before a three month taper) three teeth

cracked...i'm guessing it was the steroids, but who knows. its not

like each crack and chip holds a sign " i cracked from pred! " it

just seems odd to have a tooth crack like it did while eating

yogurt!

if it can make your bones brittle, wouldn't it make sense that it

would do the same to teeth?
