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

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I'm relatively young @ 19 yrs yet most of my molars are all cracked

up. I always had a lot of sensitivity to hot and cold, and have been

using sensodyne toothpaste since I was 10 yrs old! I've had a lot

of 'sealents' done to seal the cracks in my teeth but I don't think

the sealant last with me. Either that or new cracks happen. Other

than the cracks, sensitivities, and jumbled up teeth requiring years

of night gear and then braces and now still a retainer I haven't had

any issues with caveities etc.. Last time I went to the dentist I

tried to find out more about the cracking and he wasn't able to give

any answers except he asked if I ground my teeth. I asked questions

about one side and explained how I chewed food on the other side of

my mouth because of it and he said 'those teeth are even worse!!!' I

don't grind or clench my teeth in the day time, and @ night I wear a

retainer and with it in my molars don't even touch.

Are teeth involved in EDS 3 or classical EDS (ie anything other than

periodental eds)? Does anyone have any research, studies, articles

etc... linking the two?

Thanks so much!
