Has anyone experienced dental problems since being dxd? I used to have great teeth, hardly ever even needed cleaning, and now on Monday I have to have 4 or 5 fillings and a crown. Also since being dxd, Novocaine shots do not numb me anymore. The last few fillings I had I could still feel the drill.

I've switched to an oral surgeon who can put me out to work on my teeth. We talked some about how MS affects your dental health, and I was curious what others here have experienced.

Now my DH is on the warpath to find some way of preventing more cavities, since this is setting us back about $2500. Have you heard anything from your dentist or dr about special care? The chronic inflammation has an effect, as well as the dry mouth caused by some of the meds.
