Hi Kilikina,
Michael is correct in stating that it is not the RSD but the narcotic medication, especially the morphine based such as Opana, Avinza etc. I have also been told that in addition to the narcotic medication ketamine does change the PH in your system. So , I have been precribed a special type of tooth paste that attacks tooth decay and I use a water pik type of toothbrush and brush many times during the day especially after eating.
I never had teeth problems prior to this disease, in fact I never even had a cavity until I was 25 and then I only had 2 until this disease attacked me at 41....From then on I have had 2 or 3 root canals 2 teeth extracted and a lot of pain in my mouth. Since I have taken the steps to take care of my teeth better I do see a improvement in the pain, no cavities etc. So, to sum up you just have to really take care of your teeth on a daily basis.
Good Luck

My teeth tend to feel achy but that's about it. What are the connections between RSD and dental problems/concerns? is "RSD of the mouth" possible? Thanks for any and all help.
