Dental Issues
Have you experienced dental issues related to your Sjögren's disease? What has that been like for you?
Because of my dry mouth I had to have all of my teeth removed no matter how much I brushed them they just kept chipping and breaking off now I can't afford to get dentures or implants and if has taken my self confidence away from me .I cry everyday because I don't feel or look normal I have rehumatoid nodules all over my body from sjogrens my teeth are gone i just need to be pointed in the right direction
, Sending (((hugs))), love and light. I see you.
You can speak to your doctor to get documentation that implants are a medical necessity due to Sjogren's, and that it i a quality of life issue. You can also apply for a grant here: https://accessiahealth.org/oralhealthfund2024/ - I hope that helps; please keep us posted. - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
I suffer daily and nightly with dry mouth, sometimes I get up during the night to brush my teeth.
My biggest problem is dental insurance, I can’t afford to get the dental treatment required. I’ve only had the deep cleaning once this year but my dentist recommended having it done twice a year. I used all my dental insurance plus more money than I could afford to pay.
I welcome any information about dental health., you cn apply for a grant which includes travel expenses from: https://accessiahealth.org/oralhealthfund2024/. I hope that can help. - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
