Hey Ada & Coffeebean,
Ok, I had to have all my teeth pulled & fitted for dentures since getting RSD. I was nervous, but thankfully the dentist I see has/had another patient that had RSD in her upper extremities so that really helped me out. He really really NUMBED me. Before he ended up having to pull them all, he had done several root canals. The problem that happened that made it where I lost my teeth when I did was because I lost my health ins. I lost my prescription coverage. I was able to get all my meds but one for free from the pharmaceutical companies. That one treated my Sjogren's Syndrome. It made my salivalary glands produce plenty of saliva. Without that drug, Evoxac, the glands almost quit producing saliva completely & without saliva, your teeth do NOT stay healthy. And well I simply lost them to decay, no matter how often I flossed or brushed. And I took good care of my teeth even way before RSD came to call at my body.

Anyway I didn't have any problems with RSD moving into my face thank God!!. I did have to fight off RSD taking over my hands & lower arms. I had a total of 5 nerve blocks on each side 2 yrs in a row & so far it has worked.

Keep asking around if you need alot of tooth work done for one who might atleast know of RSD.

Good Luck,
