A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Upminster, UK

All the professionals including my pain doctor seem to be of the option that this centre will be able to rehabilitate me so I have no more pain and I am off all the medication.

Problem With Teeth Due To Medication!

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
New Castle, IN

I’m having a lot of problems with my teeth for the past few months. My jaw bone holding my teeth is actually eroding and all of my teeth are loose, some worse than others. I’m wondering if it could be from one of my heath conditions or the meds I take. Anyone else having any type of issues like this?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

Dentists here recommend peroxide and baking soda for gum disease. You don't swallow it. Just swish around for a minute.
