Re: Teeth Loss with Mitochondrial Disease

[Guest guest]

Are these baby teeth or adult teeth? If they are baby teeth, do not worry. He is on the older side for loosing them, and this can happen like this. Sometimes the adult teeth in the gums just start causing alot of pressure and the baby teeth fall out quickly. If they are adult teeth, worry. He may have periodontal disease, this causes a loss of bone causing the teeth to get loose and fall out. I would be very surprised to find out he is loosing teeth to periodontal disease at this age with nobody noticing before this. Usually perio causes very swollen red gums, bad breath and pain. Guaranteed his dentist would have noticed this a long time ago if this was the problem. As far as the mito is concerned I am very careful with Gracies teeth. Any metabolic disorder can cause the teeth to become brittle, and much more susceptible to decay, and gingivitis. We are very religious about having her seen by a pediatric dentist every six months. Also I worked in the dental field for many years, before deciding to stay home with the kids, so all my kids have to endure my lectures about brushing. If you have any more concerns, please ask. Also if you are very worried, call his dentist, they are usually very willing to help. Many will bring a child in to check with no charge.

Hi there;

Somewhere in the CoQ literature it talks about CoQ being important for healthy

gums ..... so .... is it possible that a raise in CoQ might help?

someone can help. Our 10.5 year old son has lost three teeth

in 7 days. We are somewhat concerned that these teeth are falling out.

Has anyone had an issue with teeth and this disease?

Please contact mito-owner with any problems or questions.

Dr. Whiteman told us last week that teeth coming in early might be mito related - J.D. had 1st tooth at 2 months and 8 teeth at 6 months.
