So does Covid cause dental problems? Teeth falling out or other? I remember 2020 people noticing dental problems post Covid, but my dentist didn’t agree … Are any dental problems a consequence of covid & how does it happen?
@AllyKeyLime Yes. A Dr. I was following on here lost 9 front teeth (top & bottom) after c+. Articles I've read, the dental community is divided on the cause of covid-related dental loss...either inflammation or lack of blood flow. Little to no research is being done on the topic.
@AllyKeyLime This is a known issue in MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)that often is comorbid with Long Covid.
@AllyKeyLime Neighbor who had covid ' a bunch of times' and is 'totally fine' had all his teeth pulled because they started 'breaking off.' The first surgery to install permanent false teeth didn't work and/or got infected (couldn't understand due to affected speech). Had to go re-do.
@AllyKeyLime How do I see the links to research info on twitter & a dentist isn't seeing the information in their line of work. Where do they get their information? Who informs them?
@AllyKeyLime A previous coworker w LC lost multiple teeth within 6 months of infection, her LC specialists and dentists attributed her tooth loss to capillary damage from her Covid infection
