degeneration of tooth roots...

[Guest guest]

Hi!

I have a question for all of you mito parents...has anyone had any

problems with their mito kids' teeth? Specifically, " pathologic

degeneration of the roots " ...my son received this diagnosis today,

and his front teeth are falling out from this. He is only 3 years

old (undiagnosed mito disorder...complex I deficiency) and his

permanent teeth will not come in until permanent front teeth normally

come in, at about 6 or 7 years old. I am hoping someone has

experienced something similar. The dentist (who is outstanding, by

the way:)) said it could be due to trauma to the front teeth, but

I'm just curious if this is a common finding with our kids. Any

advice, ideas, questions are welcome! Thanks!
