Dental Problems?


Panopticism

Recommended Posts

Panopticism Rookie

Anyone here experience dental problems, ie. bad teeth no matter how hard you try? I brush my teeth a lot, and still, I have a holes in my teeth. I did some research and found an article that links the malabsorption of celiac disease to weakening of the enamel in teeth. Just curious if any others have experienced bad teeth and think it may be a result of celiac disease.

Thanks. :)

I had a tooth crack. It was during period when I had ribs crack on 3 different occasions. Probably due to calcium problems due to celiac disease.

I also have gum recession for as yet unknown reasons.

My older son had no less than 12 cavities on his first dentist appointment, and I am a tooth brushing Nazi. He should not have had all those cavities. At the time, the dentist told me that I gave my son too much fruit juice. :angry: What??? Candy, I would've understood (had I given him much, but everyone said I was a meany because I wouldn't let my kids have any candy.) ...but this little boy has 12 cavities from too much (100%) fruit juice!? Puh-leeze.

Yep. I was a teeth-brushing Nazi, too, and my daughter has had endless cavities. She hasn't had a checkup since dx so I'll be interested to see.

We did get her some of that Listerine that shows blue where more brushing is necessary, but they took it off the market because it wasn't safe for people with compromised immune systems. Kinda stinks because she really brushed well with that stuff.

Luke's pediatric dental specialist told me to have him swish every night with ACT for kids. It's a flouride rinse, though, not an antiseptic or anything. She said it might help build his enamel back up, which I've since heard is impossible... At the time, I didn't know enough to ask her why his enamel wasn't up to par to begin with. Now, of course I know it's from Celiac.

We tried the blue stuff at one point, but it would never show up on his teeth! I have no idea why :ph34r:

Yes i have dental problems, most of my back teeth have fillings and my front two fang teeth are becoming discoloured even though i brush regularly, i also have a hole developing in one of the teeth at the side of my front two.

p.s-

Ive not been tested for gluten intolerence but i am suspecting that is whats causeing my symptoms.

      Although sensitivity to gluten varies between individuals, multiple research studies suggest that consuming up to 10 mg of gluten a day is safe for most people with coeliac disease. Wheat flour contains approximately 10% gluten by weight, so this is equivalent to 100 mg of flour, or a piece of wheat bread the size of a small pea. There is a case report of farmers with coeliac disease developing symptoms from inhaling gluten containing dust from cattle feed but that is an extreme example and they were exposed to very high concentrations of airborne gluten over a long period of time. In a domestic situation, unless someone is making dough and putting a lot fo flour into the air, I don't think...

      So? What do you think it will go ahead? Did you partecipate to this trial? what's the result for yuo? Thanks a lot for your answers!

      You might look into wearing an N95 mask when others are creating baked goods with wheat flour in your environment.

      @trents thank you for that information. My parents feel that cooking flour in toaster isn't a thing as its already cooked product before made? but Airbourne particles is my fear. Like I have had symptoms from 6 meters away had to leave massive migraine.

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies.  Many times their bodies are in a highly inflamed state from Celiac, with high levels of histamine and homocysteine.  Vitamins are needed to break down histamine released from immune cells like mast cells that get over stimulated and produce histamine at the least provocation as part of the immune response to gluten. This can last even after gluten exposure is ended.  Thiamine supplementation helps calm the mast cells.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.  Other B vitamins and minerals are needed to correct the...
