Celiac and Tooth Loss

[DSMITH]

Hello. 

I was diagnosed with Celiac 15 yrs ago and stay on Strick gluten-free diet to avoid issues. In the last 2 years I've been dealing with 2 Tooth root resorption and loss of 2 teeth and process/expense of 2 implants.  Celiac Dr, Dentist and the Oral Surgeon have no idea why or how the teeth issues all of a sudden happened.   Does anyone have or no anyone that has Celiac and experience any teeth /root issues.  

Desperately searching for reason who and why it happened.

Yes, I have tooth resorption going on as well with at least one of my front teeth. The dentist tells me it happens from the inside out and offered no explanation.

It happens with primary teeth but should not happen with secondary teeth.I found a case associated with coeliac disease but it seems to be very unusual and possibly associated with vitamin D deficiency and mineral metabolism.

It's nutritional deficiencies in Calcium and Vitamin D.

Calcium can be reabsorbed from teeth as well as bones.   

As we age, we can have difficulty absorbing certain minerals like calcium from our foods.  Excluding dairy, a great source of calcium, makes getting sufficient calcium from foods more difficult.  

Leafy green vegetables like kale, collards, mustard and turnip greens are good sources of calcium.  (Stay away from too much spinach as it is high in oxalates.)

Thank you so much for your suggestion to stay away from too much spinach.  I eat spinach every day with chicken as a salad.  I'll definitely switch to Kale.

i have lost count as to how many teeth i have lost and how many crowns I have on the ones that are left. My dentist has told me it's due to the celiac disease, that was undiagnosed for a very long time.
