TEETH

[secondtime]

Good morning,,, just wanted to know if anyone else is having trouble with their teeth/  I was on riba/peg treatment for 1 year ended 8/03- currently on main dose...I am a 55 year old female and have been lucky to have kept my own teeth/ Now, I recently had 2 crowns fall out and my teeth do not feel very strong... Any thoughts and/or comments welcome - thanks

forgot to add that my teeth have been VERY sensitive since ENDING tx in May.  It probably has a lot to do with my sugar intake (I did not rinse after eating TONS of sugar treats, try to do better these days, though) and I know that I started grinding my teeth at night during tx, and I still do.....I bought a mouth guard, but keep forgetting to use it......

quads now, cane syrup, high fructose corn syrup, maple syrup, sucrose, give anything ending in "ose"!

I had my milk shake for lunch.
we will need a special post tx diet group for sure, should I start worrying or buying larger post tx clothes sizes?

One of the foods I could tolerate during tx was ICE CREAM! I USED IT TO RINSE THE COOKIES FROM MY MOUTH! Seriously, I had sensitive teeth real bad but it has already gotten better but I still love the ice cream and now that tx is over I am gaining the lost weight back already cause I'm not active yet.

One BIG problem with teeth and treatment is the dry mouth. If you must consume sugar (of any type) at least rinse your mouth out thoroughly with water and brush if you can. Sugar + dry mouth = trouble.

Doh! didn't finish the thought... I meant to also write to rinse/brush <i>immediately</i> after consuming the sugar. I amplified the problem by sucking on cough drops (to deal with the mouth sores) and falling asleep.
