I have literally spent over 40 thousand dollars on my oral(dental) health over the last 30 years only to now have to have a full upper denture plate and partial bottom plate (dentures). Which are expensive and not something anyone wants. Even with all the extra attention I have been doing for 30+ years to try to keep my teeth healthy I find that none of it really mattered in the end. I still need to have dentures. My teeth get cavities very quickly, even with brushing, flossing, water picking, restricting my diet, bisits to my dentist every 3 months, more rootcanals than a “normal” person would need. Still even then the root canal teeth would break at the gumline, only to have to be removed… until I literally only had 6 front upper teeth. Now those must be removed also.. this autoimmune disorder/disease just does not care who it attacks.
There needs to be more information stresding the dental aspect side of Lupus actually on all autoimmune disorders about the effect on dental issues. Mouth sores included, again my Rheumatologist failed to warn or tell me about those nasty sores. At one point I had over 21 sores in my mouth! I literally couldn’t eat solid foods, barely was able to drink any fluids while those were at their worst. I went to my primary dr. Who explained why I was getting them and he gave me medication to help heal them and advised me to go see my dentist. Thank goodness I have a great dentist who is very good in communicating what I needed to do. Just wish that my body would stop fighting me every step on the way. Because like I said, it really did not matter in the end…now.
So next week I will have “new” teeth, fake teeth, all but but 11 bottom teeth, (which I am continuing to fight to keep as long as possible). All because of Lupus and autoimmune disorders.
Trying to be positive in all of this so I don’t have another flare so my positive on this is no more broken jagged teeth to cause mouth sores.
Thanks for listening and caring enough to write this article.

It also explain while I have been diagnosed about 2.5 years ago it explains why I am only experiencing my first true, painful, flare.
