Odd Tooth Shape Related To Celiac?

My dd probably has celiac disease (we haven't had it confirmed yet). When she got her top front teeth, one was almost twice the size of the other. All her other teeth have come in an odd order. She is my 3rd kid, and my other dd's never had teeth coming in or looking like this. I know that tooth decay is related to Celiac disease, but could this be related?? The ped just says it is odd, but doesn't have an explanation and no one can tell me if her permanent teeth will be like this.

Thanks!

I don't have any answers for you, but I would recommend finding a pediatric dentist in your area. Our ped recommended one when my oldest was 3, and he's been wonderful. He is good with kids (obviously) and specializes in issues with baby teeth. He was very proactive about some issues with her baby teeth that could have affected her permanent teeth, something I never would have thought of nor had any another dentist ever mentioned. Her new teeth are coming in nice and normal these days, and I'm planning on having my youngest (the one with celiac symptoms) visit him soon to stay on top of things.

Malnutrition is known to affect bone and tooth development in children. I'm neither a doctor nor a dentist. Hope you get her health problems cleared up soon.

My front second teeth came threw about the same size as baby teeth. They are however all about the same size. I was told at the time that it may have been due to celiac. I don't think that there is anyways they can find out tho.

Nicole's teeth came in fine she is almost 3. But she does have some decoloration even though we always brush. She is seeing the dentist for the first time in Dec. Should be interesting.

at my daughters last dentist appt. on her x rays a couple of spots showed up like decay but when the dentist examined her teeth there was no indication of decay, he said it's possible because of the celiac when those teeth were forming they missed some of the key nutrients necessary to form healthy teeth and therefore she has defects in her teeth... these are in her back bottom molars on both sides.

Both of my kids have HORRIBLE teeth. My son just had oral surgery to get 7 crowns and fill 4 cavities. And, yes, I do brush his teeth very well. My daughter's teeth are coming in and are very misshapen and discolored. My son's dentist said his teeth look like he should be from a 3rd world country and sick with malnutrition. We hope his permanent teeth will be better since we found out about the celiac disease. The dentist said their teeth form while in the womb. I now think I have celiac disease too and wonder if they didn't get the nutrients they needed because I wasn't absorbing properly.

It sounds like it could be due to celiac disease- one symptom of celiac disease is dental enamel hypoplasia. I wonder of malformed teeth is related to that as well?

Here is a link to a photo of a child with hypoplastic and malformed teeth- the underlying cause in this child's case is not given

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
