Hi Jess,

I go to Tremont Dental Care in the South End:

Open Original Shared Link

I've been going to them for years, and they're great - very thorough, and very conservative (i.e. they won't suggest dental work that you don't need). I was diagnosed about six months ago, and e-mailed them before my cleaning to make sure they understood that everything needed to be gluten free.

Ask them to use "pumice flour" and non-oat-flour-coated latex gloves during your appointment. Also suggest that they use Glide dental floss (it's gluten-free). They know this from working with me, but it's been a while, so I'm sure they'd appreciate the reminder.

The technician sat with me for about ten minutes the last time I was there, asking me lots of questions about celiac disease. She got right away that some of the patients she was seeing with persistent dental issues might actually have celiac disease!

Good luck!

Hi Jess,

Sorry I don't leave in Boston. But I do work for a Dentist in Maryland. Everyone in the office understands what I am going through. They recently got me gluten free prophy paste, which is the tooth paste your doctor or hygentist uses. They can get it from any dental supplier they use. If they won't, they could use pumice, that is used in every dental office.

Flouride treatments also can be ordered gluten free now, but it is not necessary for adult to have this unless there is a problem, so just don't allow them to give you any flouride treatment.

The only other thing I avoid is topical anesthisia. You just have to tough it up and allow the dentist to give you injections without it.

I suggest you find a dentist that is a good doctor and that you like, then hopefully he will listen.

Good Luck,

Susan

PS-still checking on Listerine

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
