Tooth Problems anyone.

[Harmony]

On Feb 20 I had my Mitral Valve repaired. I believe the operation went well. However I had a lot of G. I. problems. About 1 month after my heart surgery I had to have a colonoscopy. Now my dental problem has come back. I had to cancel my heart surgery twice because of dental pain. I have had 2 root canals which I probably did not need. I might have TMJ but not sure. I have been to so many dentists and no help. So I was wondering if anyone has had tooth problems after surgery and what they were.

Hi Zipper nice to hear from you. Someone posted a article today or yesterday about being depressed after OHS,
I think that happens to a lot of us, I saw my surgeon today as I want to go for mamogram and the scare on my right breast looks nasty but he said it would be all right. I think its hard for some of us to understand what we went through. Hope things are going well ith you. Will be in touch

Harmony, I saw this earlier today and I was hoping someone would ask what is TMJ? It's almost my spouses initials

But I think I tend to agree with you about having more dental problems since surgery. Got one tooth, maybe two that have had a root canal done and they still bother me, especially with sweet & sour things.

I had root canal done yesterday! I think our ammune systems are a bit broken down after major surgery and every time you take antibiotics for which ever reason it also affects your teeth and ageing...

so floss, visit your Dentist twice a year and invest in a good toothbrush and something to rinse your mouth with afterwards.
