Just anecdotal evidence.
Beary, as far as I know, there has been no research or studies on this. I never had tooth problems, not even a cavity, before Solu-Medrol. A few months after, I had a million problems, including gum disease. I talked to my dentist about it, and he said that while he's never seen proof, he sees many MS patients whose dental health gets really bad after IVSM. He also said that other dentists he knows have also connected this. He's a reputable guy who has been around for awhile, so I believe him. He's even asked me to get check-ups both before and after I do IVSM. I've only done it once though, when I was first dx.
It's definitely worth looking into. But don't steroids deplete your bones? Maybe it does the same to teeth.
