That is why I haven't posted lately been very busy with dental issues last few months have had five more removed next is 3 fillings then new impressions for my new partials , after that lots if deep cleaning on the rest every3 months , see at 16 yrs old I was diagnosed with both RA and Psoriatic-Arthritis its on both sides of my gene pool lucky me I got it all, just doing what I can any way I can, these disorders take and take but I never going to give up trying learned that from my great grandma she had RA and was in a wheelchair my whole life she never gave up , she said just doing it differently today if you can't wait until tomorrow try it another way every day is different , I have limited range of motion in both arms and feet now makes every day a challenge, so just know on the teeth issue your not alone

That is a good question! I was diagnosed with RA at 21. As I have gotten older, my teeth have become sensitive and I have had 4 root canals. I never made the connection but RA may be the cause of these dental problems.
