Is Gum Disease, Mouth Sores, Teeth Sensitivity Related To MCTD?
Hi. I'm 17 and always taking care of my health. I have been diagnosed with MCTD a year and a half ago, when I have actually been experiencing the symptoms for a long time before that. I take good care of my dental health but I have always had gum disease and mouth sores. And just recently, I've been experiencing teeth sensitivity which is equally bad. I want to know if this is related to MCTD and if there's anything I can do about it. Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
This could be due to some medical conditions.
I would suggest you to get an detailed clinical examination and evaluation done.
Go for complete mouth scaling,polishing and curettage.
Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses at home.
Drink plenty of fluids which are rich in Vitamin C like lemons, oranges.
Take multivitamin suplements.
Hope you find this as helpful.
Take care!
