Does anyone else have issues with their teeth? I have teeth that just break apart and the result hurts a lot. This is tooth #3 or 4 now that has broke and I will need pulled. I have been fortunate thus far with not having issues with my front teeth (yet :/). Does any else experience teeth problems.
 
I have poor tooth enamel due to crohn's and Osteoperosis. Are they saying why they are so weak? You may need calcium and vit D supplementation.
 
I have recently been told by my dentist that I am not making enough saliva to protect my teeth, my Dr. Suspects a secondary autoimmune such as Sojens Syndrome. For sure mention these teeth issues to your Dr.
 
I should also add I was told to incorporate more fluoride by my dentist so I have it in my toothpaste and mouthwash.
 
My teeth are really bad. I'm amazed I've made it this far without losing the whole lot. There is also a new complication - low platelets - last count 56. If I need to have an extraction from now on it will have to be in hospital so there's a supply of platelets ready in case of excessive bleeding. Should have better idea on 18th February what caused the platelets to go so low when I get final results from bone marrow biopsy. No.1 suspect = Azathioprine, with Crohn's a close second.
