Guest guest Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Hi Pat. One of the symptoms I've been having is that my teeth are literally falling apart. I've had 3 teeth break off in the past couple of months. One of them was a molar that broke in half and it gradually began to ache. I had it pulled on Thursday, as the pain was more than I could handle. The dentist agreed there was no point in doing a root canal because if it is Sjogren's that I have, I would lose the tooth anyway. The numbness started after the tooth started to ache. I figured it was maybe a pressed nerve from the inflammation, but I still haven't regained the feeling in that area yet. Will run it past the Rheumy on Thursday. Thanks for your help...
