Re: MS effects our teeth? ot

[Guest guest]

I have had ms diagnosed since 1984. Also had extensive dental work( removal

of amalgam), etc. Very few , if any, new cavities and no mention of ms ever

effecting teeth. However, This work did require a number of ( root canals)

and I am no very sure that they were a mistake and have caused significant

problems. Had I known then what I know now I would never of had them done.

Still considering having them removed.

Regards,

Tom

I don't believe I've ever had predisone. I have had lots of fillings and a couple of root canals though.

Re Reg's concern. My Sonicare toothbrush has been a lifesaver. I sometimes don't have the strength to brush them with a regular brush correctly.

Or perhaps the issue is presented backwards - maybe the poor dental health contributes to MS...

I think it is strange that my brother was born in 56, premature like me,and a lot of his class had very poor teeth.(coincidence?) I was born a year earlier and have good teeth yet I find that as time goes on it is becoming more and more like work to properly brush my teeth,Just standing long enuf at the mirror to shave is hell.

What I am getting at is that maybe it is the lack of energy (due to M.S.)that contributes to the bad teeth because of poor dental hygiene?

I know if I wasn't able to, or motivated to, brush my teeth they would probably all have fallen out by now.

Congrats Reg!!

I bought a kiddie spin brush - add a little bubblegum

toothpaste and brushing my teeth has become fun. This I

learned from my 5 year old nephew.

One round only; I won't go there again. It did not change my oral health in any way. Just turned me into a psycho for a while.

Hi Friday

I don't beleive that MS'ers have bad teeth. I am 61 and have had MS for 27 years. I have all my own teeth, no crowns or root canals ever. I did have my mercury removed about 15 to 20 years ago. I never get cavities. I go to the dentist every 6 months for cleaning that is it. They are also very white.

CAn only tell you that I just finished mercury removal and several

of the old fillings had substantial decay under them. Haven't read

anything else about MS and teeth other than the mercury/metals

connection.
