Gluten free dentistry...

Does anyone know of a well informed dental practice in NYC that uses only gluten free treatments?  Has anyone used or heard of this new toothpaste called Tartar End?   https://tartarend.com/frequently-asked-questions/.  The ingredients list carragenan which I don't like, but I don't think there's any gluten in it.  I have really bad tartar buildup--- the pandemic kept me from getting my usual cleanings.  And lastly, since my diagnosis came long after my last cleaning, does anyone know if the tartar currently sitting on my teeth would have gluten deposits in it.  How does one keep from swallowing that when the hygienist scrapes it off?  Many thanks...

I am not sure about a NYC dentist.

Regarding Tarterend Toothpaste, its ingredients look gluten-free, and carrageenan is on our safe list:

Disodium Phosphate

Carrageenan

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
