Celiac.com 02/08/2017 - Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune-mediated enteropathy, triggered by exposure to dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. Celiac disease is also one of many gastrointestinal diseases that can have dental manifestations. In fact, distinct dental enamel defects are strong indicators of celiac disease, and may lead to a role for dentists in better celiac screening.
While the disease often manifests in early childhood, a large number of patients are diagnosed over the age of 50. Despite increased awareness, the majority of patients still remain undiagnosed. Dentists should consider celiac disease when they observe certain symmetric enamel defects.

In fact, Celiac.com is unaware of any major brand of toothpaste that contains gluten. For this reason, we regard most toothpastes to be naturally gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease, however, always read ingredient labels to be sure, and avoid gluten ingredients. <...>
