Default I am soo glad this topic is here!

I am grateful as I've suffered lots of calcium loss due to both the anti-seizure meds and anti-cancer meds I am now on.

Having CIDP/PN, the ability to brush, even using an electric one, I find compromises my 'thoroughness'.

Strangely, the teeth calcium loss manifested itself exactly at the time I was in the process of my cancer diagnosis.

Stranger still, none of my many docs: Neuro, Ocon and GP are overly concerned, even tho I feel as If I'm chomping calcium pills like they are candy. {EXCEPT for the times before surgeries or tests}

Thing is when one goes from 1-3 little cavitiy/patches per year to SEVEN [last year] and an anticipation for more. 3 of the 7 involved crown replacements and it's getting to a decision of: PULL them or what? The options are open...

Untimately, good people.. Have or are any of you in a similar situation? IF so, what/how do you deal with it all?

I've always been a diligent cleaner/cavity treater till now. I am getting afraid as to what kind of road I will have to take in the future. Soo many times, places and boards simply do not address this aspect of our NEURO conditions. It's good to know I'm not alone in this corner as well as the other corners posters are so kind to help me with - j
