Interesting that the question was asked about teeth rotting out since being diagnosed. I never had a speck of problems when I was diagnosed in 2021. But since then, I’ve had a back molar pulled because of infection, 5 veneers placed on my upper teeth due to them being brittle. And now my bottom teeth are very sensitive and are shifting. This lupus is the Pits.

Oh, yes. I never had any dental problems until Lupus was diagnosed.

No, but before I was diagnosed I had multiple problems with my gums. I lost an implant too. Now on hydroxychloroquine I have improved to the nth degree. I am considering crowns as long as they are not affected by the Prolia which is another story. Hope you do well.
