Dental Problems and ME

Hi everyone

Well, this will cheer you all up :roll:

Have just been reading my new ME book (the American one) and have come across a section on teeth.

'People with CFS/FMS seem especially vulnerable to cavities. This usually comes from the dry mouth caused by the condition as well as medications.

Some patients will get \"cavitations\" in their jaws which can serve as hidden infections :shock: - these are poorly understood'

FANTASTIC :evil:

It does also state that fish oil tablets can help with the dry mouth and of course, extra care with dental hygiene.

So get those toothbrushes and floss out folks :roll:

If I come up with any more little gems, will let you know :thepost:
