Heart Dental issues with RSD

Rivkah,
I am scared to go to the dentist due to the state of my teeth. 2 of my teeth are chipped, one of which is really bad and painful. I have 3 teeth that are wobbly. I only started having problems with my teeth after I was diagnosed with RSD, I do believe that the RSD/Medications cause teeth problems. I think I also suffer from gum disease but I am not sure.

I found this on 'google' it is an interesting article and maybe you could ask your dentist if he could do the following:
My dentist follows a procedure to prevent flare ups of CRPS. He uses cream to deaden the area before injecting. Then uses a non adrenaline local. He also injects local again at the end of the treatment which is kept short. On my last visit he didn't do this as it was just a check up. Unfortunately I had a facial flare up as a result of handling and cleaning. In future , even for check ups we'll be following the procedure we know works to prevent a problem.

This is also an interesting website about dental issues with RSD/CRPS:

Take care
Love
Alison
