Recently I noticed that something is happening with my tooth. They started to hurt a lot although my dental hygiene is the same, I am experiencing hard pain while drinking or eating. Especially problematic are cold and hot drinks and salty food. I do not know is this relevant, but I also suffer from sjogren's disease. Can my tooth decay be a symptom of sjogren's disease?

Hi, I had the same problem with my tooth. I know exactly what are you talking about. Your problem is probably caused by your basic disease- sjogren's syndrome. Mine was. It happens because your saliva production is too small for your needs. Because of that bacteria in your mouth remain inside and make damage to your teeth. Why don't you ask your doctor for advice about this?
