I have the same problem. And acidic does not even describe my body. They even tried giving me flouride treatments like they do little kids. I go to the dentist all the time and my teeth keep falling apart.

Ok, I guess someone can relate. I feel like I should just go ahead and get dentures! I'm on Rx flouride toothpaste and a Rx mouthwash to kill bacteria...and still I have two new cavities in 6 months! Its quite frustrating. Guess we'll keep brushing huh?

This makes sense to me. I have had major teeth problems the past couple years before my recent diagosis of MS. I have had 4 root canals and I need an additional 2 more. Every time I would go to the dentist (about every 2 week span) he would find something else.

One time a tooth chipped while he was working on another...he was surprised how easily it chipped!

I haven't gone to him since my MS diagnosis...I know I need to though....

This all makes sense!

Yep me too. This year I had 2 bridges replaced and a tooth pulled. These bridges have been in place for 20+ years and now I don't have a day go by that one tooth or another doesn't pain me. The hygienist from hell did a scaling because "if I didn't know better I would swear you hadn't been to a dentist in 10 years!" Well I go every 6 months for cleaning and x-rays and check. But just recently things are starting to completely go down the toilet. I thought it was from the meds as a side effect of Copaxone is tooth decay but perhaps it is from the good old MS. Glad to know I am not alone in this. I was so embarrassed by her comments (this was a new dentist) that I am not going back there again and will try to find a handicap inspired dentist who understands that it is not my lack of dental hygiene but my disease process!

I too have had many trips to the dentist, when I was 29 had a full upper denture put in with many rooting teeth pulled. Then two years ago I had bottom implants put in best thing I ever did! I am now 47 and was not dignose with MS till two years ago. Today Iam writing from my doctors office due to I am here for a 3 day stay for a Video EEG flor my seizures any one dealt with this?

What timing...I went to the dentist today after having a tooth suddenly fall out..despite oral hygeine, I was DX with advanced gum disease. Now must go through the scaling, teeth extracted and partials..can't be the copaxone or the LDN I just started...good old MS

So more common than I thought maybe. I've had an implant, 2 crowns and 2 more crowns on the way...I have no doubt I have a hand in putting his children in a wonderful college someday..

Harmony777..good luck with the 3 day dr. stay..

Me also...I suprisingly have only had 4 fillings & I am 30yrs old. I do brush 2 times a day & floss. However 5 yrs ago my gums started bleeding really bad. So my dentist sent me to a peritonitis. I had infection in my gums so surgery was the best way to solve it. (they said) After 14 shots in the roof of my mouth... They cut open my gums on the top away from my teeth..cleaned out the infection & then sewed my gums back! I was awake for the entire thing! 2 weeks later the stitches kinda started to fall out on there own. I thought they might be the desolving kind (they didn't tell me) So that part was a little bit of a surprise.

5 yrs later..I am going to cleanings every 3 months. I still have some bleeding & a couple of deep pockets but my teeth are ok..just the gums are the issue :(

me also...........i am 41 years old. til i was 30 i only had 1 cavity my whole life....now i have at least 7 and i go get cleanings every 6 months and get more cavities each time i go. I thought it was just me.
