Enamel Defects..don't Know What To Do...

[Stadium2006]

Well this is my first post on here. I am 20 years old and I was diagnosed with Celiac, Sept 08. I just recently visited my dentist and apparently my enamel looks like a 40 year olds. He has no idea what celiac is and has no idea how to help my enamel. I'm young and i don't want to lose all of my teeth so i am just looking for some help. He mentioned taking some supplements but i'm not sure what or how much. I take really good care of my teeth but i continue to get cavities and severe mouth and tongue pain. My dentist had no idea how to help me so i was hoping that someone on here might be able to. I'm having a hard time coping with the celiac as it is and now i could lose my teeth.....

Ask your dentist to check into remineralizing agents. In the meantime make sure you are getting enough calcium and other minerals. Be careful of your teeth, that kind of goes without saying. My DS broke a tooth once with a gummy worm. Just did the bite and stretch with his front teeth and one broke right in half. Don't do stuff like that. If you do break a tooth don't despair though. Denistry has come a long way and there are a lot of things they can do that are not drastic.

Do not use a desensitizing toothpaste without checking to make sure it is safe.

Hi, Stadium!

I have always had problems and develope cavities quickly. I saw my dentist last week and he told me I have brittle teeth. I don't know what this means and wonder if it is because I do not drink milk (gas issues with it)? I already know my enamel is thinning.
