Hello, I have a $29,000 dental bill and I am attempting to save my teeth. I think it is important because I am vain!!!lol I do have dry mouth and use everything possible when I wake up such as Dry Mouth Mouthwash from Walmart. It helps but, nothing will help us and we try to control the negative. Many Blessings Dearest Sisters and Brothers with SLE, LOVE (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators)

We are definitely more prone to dental problems, as our systemic inflammation and poor immunity from lupus (and meds) predispose to them. Dry mouth makes us even more prone to cavities and tooth loss.

The dentist said teeth problems due to dry mouth. So dental hygiene is very important and we need to brush and floss more that the average person

Yes, I have lost several teeth on the bottom backs on both sides. It is because I suffer terribly with Chronic dry mouth.

I’m having an issue with a perfectly good tooth now is loose. I don’t know what to do.
