Dental Care Challenges with Rheumatoid Arthritis in Pearland
Hi everyone,
I live in Pearland and have rheumatoid arthritis, so I’ve noticed how RA affects my dental care. Joint pain sometimes makes brushing and flossing hard, and some medications cause dry mouth.
I’ve had to be careful choosing a pearland dentist who understands these issues. It’s important to find someone patient who can adjust treatments for you.
I visited myaquadental in Pearland, and they were understanding. Explaining my RA symptoms helped them tailor my care.
Oral health with RA isn’t easy, but good communication and small changes with your dentist can help a lot.
Has anyone else in Pearland faced similar challenges? Any tips to share for managing dental care with RA?
Looking forward to your thoughts!
Hi
. I can't speak to dental care in Pearland, but I know many others in the community have struggled with dental issues for all the reasons you state. I'm tagging fellow community team member because I know he has experience with the impact of RA and the steroids on the teeth. Plus, I want to share this previous Forum discussion on RA and dental issues: https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/forums/ra-and-dental-issues. Glad you have had success with your care and managing your teeth. Best, Richard (Team Member)
