Weakening of Tooth Enamel after surgery?



Recommended Posts

I had Vertical Sleeve surgery on April 4, 2011. I am experiencing what seems to be weakening of the enamel on my teeth since surgery. I get the recommended daily intake of Protein, Calcium supplements, B-12, B-Complex, and a Multivitamin. I also don't eat foods higher than 3g of sugar and I don't drink any beverages with sugar, caffeine, or carbon. I take really good care of my teeth doing the whole flossing, mouthwash, brushing, and ACT fluoride rinse. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced problems like this since having surgery? I guess it's time for a trip to the dentist to perhaps get that enamel coating they put over teeth...sucks :(

I have noticed it, but only because my mouth has been so dry during the night. (I'm still on my cpap) and I wake up with a terrible cotton mouth, also, during the first few weeks when liquid intake was slowed down, my mouth was dry during the day. I don't know if this is happening to you. Let me know about that enamel stuff, I didn't know you could get that.
