I don't really know the answer to your question specifically, but celiac can cause issues with your teeth. My almost 7 year old son has tooth enamal problems with his two bottom permanent 6 year molars. They came in looking weird, parts normal color and parts that were tan colored. I was concerned and the dentist agreed that it was enamal defects probably related to his celiac (he was diagnosed at almost 6) and having a lot of antibiotics. One of them even came in with a cavity in it. The dentist had a hard time filling it because the tooth structure was so week that it was crumbling. He hasn't got the top two in yet and has yet to loose any of his baby teeth. He has had about 6 cavities and fillings in his baby teeth already too. His bottom front two incisors are a little loose and I'm concerned about what the adult teeth are going to be like. I have a sneaking suspicion that he will need some restorative and cosmetic dental work. I'm not 100% positive but I think I have read some threads(quite some time ago) that some people were having gum issues and some reported improvement with that. Try searching the forum and see what you can find.

I don't know. Have you seen your dentist? Gum inflammation can cause them to recede and if you can get a referral or an apointment with a peridontist they might be able to help.

@frieze: Vitamin D worked for you or are you just saying to get some in general?

I got some Vitamin D3 on order and I got an appointment for a cleaning and filling in Feb (insurance dosent kick in til then)

Hopefully my teeth stop twisting and turning. I dont know if braces would matter if they are just going to keep moving once the braces are removed.

You could ask your dentist about the orthodontia I don't know if braces would help or not. Perhaps a retainer? Don't know. A periodontist deals with gum issues and they might be able to do something if the wigglies are being caused by gum recession rather than bone loss.

The D3 may help and make sure you are getting enough calcium.

Yeah I know for sure its not bone loss. I went in and got all the x-rays to have that checked.

Vitamin C is one of the most important nutrients for healthy teeth and gums. It is an antioxidant that reduces inflammation, boosts the immune system to help fight bacteria that cause infection and heals the gums.

Eat plenty of foods that are rich in vitamin C such as citrus fruits, spinach and broccoli to obtain enough of this essential nutrient for healthy teeth and gums. You may also want to supplement your diet with 250 to 500 milligrams of vitamin C per day.

Essential Nutrients for Healthy Teeth and Gums - Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant and another of the essential nutrients for healthy teeth and gums. It will drastically reduce the amount of free radicals causing damage to the gums. Your body produces coenzyme Q10 on its own but as you age, you'll produce less. You may want to supplement your diet with 60 - 100 milligrams of coenzyme Q10 per day.

Essential Nutrients for Healthy Teeth and Gums - Calcium

We all know calcium as one of the essential nutrients for healthy teeth and gums. A deficiency of calcium can weaken the teeth and the bones that hold them in place. You can increase your intake of this essential nutrient by easting dark, leafy greens, and low fat dairy products. You may also want to take a supplement if you fear you aren't getting enough calcium. Take two 600 milligram tablets, one in the morning and one in the evening, to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

I've also heard magnesium to help-

Also,

If y ou have GERD or ACID REFLUX that can do great damage to your teeth & gums and cause reallyyyy bad breath

Thanks for the info Heidi. I have been taking vitamin C for a while and just got some vitamin D3 today. I never heard of Coenzyme Q10. I will have to look it up.

EDIT: How much vitamin D3 should I be taking? I got 1000 IU caps. I read if you take to much it could cause cancer. 2000 IU a day should be fine?

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
