I never smoked....at age 13, I had 13 cavities filled. Most of my teeth are crowns. It is postulated that I have Sjogren's, but if it is primary or secondary is still in dispute, but they can't really 'name' what the primary autoimmune disease is if SjS is secondary.

I imagine that there are lots of reasons for dental issues....disease, meds, diet among them.

I can commiserate with you, altho, I have been lucky that I have not had gum issues....I just keep cracking teeth. I have nightmares that I am chewing broken teeth.

Would a bite splint help?
