I am looking for thoughts, ideas, opinions on the following...
24 y/o F, Ont, Canada
June 07 had a double adrenalectomy due to very high levels of testosterone
Aug 07 dentist appointment all looks perfect other than 1 wisdom tooth that needed to come out.. I think it may have been due to a cavity and since they are so far back it was just removed..
May 29, 08 Dentist appointment 7 cavities! 6 of which had been fixed over the years and apparently the tooth weakened..
May 31, 08 2 fillings 1 more which turned into a root canal!!!
I asked the Dentist how this could happen so quick, he asked if I lived in the City, which I do, because people who drink bottled or well water wouldn't get the fluoride benefit added in municipal water I suppose.. He admitted how considering 9 months ago there was only the very slightest indication of a cavity forming that this was exceptionally fast.. I didn't bother to ask why it wasn't fixed if they saw it but that's for my next visit..
Anyway, I was told that when I had my adrenals I had very strong bones and they would weaken to the 'average' person's strength, which is still strong. Iwas wondering if there may be a connection between the two.
I do brush at least once a day and flossing is not my forte but from my past, this many cavities so quick and my first root canal just blew me away.
I'm meeting wiht my Endo on the 16th fortunately and I will discuss this with her
