I really hope someone reads this amid the excitement of the other thread today, but I didn't want to BU by posting anywhere else for traffic.
I hope MNers can help because they know everything!
Since March I have had problems with the above, initially doc thought it was oral thrush but then we realised it wasn't. It was starting to give me a vague feeling of nausea so I was taking those sweets that help create saliva but the only ones that work are really pricey.
anyhow, doc eliminated lots of causes including diabetes and I didn't have any symptoms of anything else so we were starting to worry I might have some autoimmune disease or need to come off regular fluoxetine and then it dawned on me....
it could be my toothpaste couldn't it? Sounds easy enough to change but a) I have sensitive teeth b) dentist is a complete fluoride obsessive and had a fit at the idea of me using a natural toothpaste.
to be honest though, even if it doesn't help my teeth, I cannot go on with this dry mouth and feeling sick unless I want to spend about £15 a week on the sweets that don't cure it anyway, they just make it a bit better.
I feel like I've spent a bunch of money trying to solve this so I thought I'd ask if anyone had this and what toothpaste they use and what should I do, use that and then use sensitive toothpaste as well?
argh.
Thanks for listening. Sorry to rant, but lack of proper saliva production has really had a poor effect on my health generally and it feels like there's no proper advice.
