No matter what I eat hot or cold my teeth are very sensitive and painful and sometimes feel like a loose tooth.

The medicines we take cause dry mouth; which cause cavities and many dental issues.

I had that till I ended up having to get them pulled. My teeth deteriorated really fast from the lupus.

I have very sensitive teeth and my gums have receded so bad in places that they have put filling on some to cover the expossed roots. I use topical floride to help with sensitivity and use Biotine mouthwash to help with dryness. My teeth are not loose so you may need to have that looked at. Good luck.

hi I've got very sensitive teeth but I've got sjorgrens which causes dry mouth and many mouth and teeth issues.. I use sensitive toothpaste and a mouthwash called biotene.. Might be worth talking to your dentist as gum disease can cause sensitivity too ..

@A MyLupusTeam Member I am 46 and have partials, upper and lower. Lupus and/or meds does cause more dental issues. My dentist recommended Sensodyne toothpaste.
