Re: Cracked or sensitive teeth anyone? Is this related to EDS/HMS?

[Guest guest]

HEy Cyber Sis Rhea :->,

I too have sensitive teeth and not mny caverties (I do have a few now

and need to get them looked at but I need to have this done with a

full anasthetic and this has put me off). I have a problem where on

the outside they all look fine but they have a caverity etc on the

inside. I als think I have a few cracks and such. I think mine is

definately something in my family as my Mum and one of here sister

lost ll of there teeth by age 30 and so did my sister, some of my

sisters kids (most of them) have had some or most of there baby teeth

removed due to problems. I think Mum cracked all of her teeth so

badly that they had to be removed (if I can remember right).

Sorry I don't have any articles or anything but I sure hope someone

can help you.

Hang in there

Hi Rhea, I too have problems with my teeth, gums and mouth in

general - partly down to fragility issues and partly down to high

palate and crowded teeth from my skeletal defomrities.

I found the following in an article about oral manifestations of EDS

and thought it might be helpful:

The Teeth - Hypoplasia of the enamel is commonly seen.10 Premolar and

molar teeth can present with deep fissures and long cusps. The teeth

seem to be fragile and microdontia is sometimes present. Radiographic

examination often reveals pulp stones and roots that are short and

deformed. Microscopic-level anomalies of the various dental tissues

are described in detail by Barabas11 and Pope.1 One case of type III

EDS with multiple supernumerary teeth has been reported in the

literature.19

The whole article can be found here: http://www.cda-adc.ca/jcda/vol-

67/issue-6/330.html

Take care and hope that helps.

Love and hugs....Jo

No experise here - just more anecdotal info.

My grandma lost all of her teeth by the time she was 40.

My mom suffers from terrible teeth problems - lots of teeth cracking,

esp as she gets older. She also has gum disease.

My brother has several teeth that have cracked.

I have one tooth that cracked while pregnant and those teeth were

moving around - fortunately it was a little crack - a small piece of

tooth fell off and didn't cause any problems. I also had two baby

teeth that didn't grow in even after the adult teeth did - I had

double teeth for awhile.

I think my sister has had trouble but I'm not sure.

My oldest daughter has sensitive teeth and used a natural toothpaste

for sensitive teeth that has helped a little.

Two of my daughters have high palettes.

Three of my daughters grind their teeth.

My nephew has an extra baby tooth.

All of us except my nephew have EDS - and I think he does, too.

Keep us posted about how it goes with the dentist - I've got to take

my kids to the ortho and I'm dreading it. But I've got that info,

too, and I'm going to drop it off ahead of time so the doctor has a

chance to review it.

Good luck!

Re: Cracked or sensitive teeth anyone? Is this related to

EDS/HMS?

My mom always had teeth cracking/breaking off.

My last appt or the one before, the dentist said my teeth are starting to have

" scores " on them - pre cracks.... One of my nightmares that recurs occasionally

is all of my teeth crack, crumble and then I spit them all out!!!!
