I had Gastric Bypass on 12-1-2009 and have recently discovered that my teeth are riddled with cavities, issues below the gum lines, broken teeth, crumbling teeth, teeth turning gray, enamel thinning and cavaties under my crowns! I reached out to a friend of mine who had the same surgery about 5 years ago and she is going through the same thing! She spent over $8K last year and $7K needed this year only for her dentist to tell her she will eventually lose all of her teeth and need dentures! My dental appt yesterday he estimated $10K worth of dental work. After my appointment I watched the show 600 pound life and the guy was having serious dental issues!!! I began Googling and so many patients are having the same issues and were never told about this!

Is anyone else going through this that is post Gastric Bypass? My teeth were beautiful prior to surgery, now I look like a meth addict!!!

I bought a water pick from my dentist! Best thing ever!! ???

I totally agree with you , every case is different, if you take your vitamins every day and your doctor check your blood levels every three months it will prevent future issues , also daily brush and floss sure help.

Great Smile!!!!
