It's very important to keep up your oral health. You may need to see your dentist every 3 months. Also, gum disease can be related to the H.pylori infection which coincidently, can mimic MDS symptoms. Your GP can test you for H.pylori. I think the first time they would do a blood draw to check.
And if they haven't yet, get your vitamin D, B12, Folate, zinc and copper checked. You should not take any supplements 4 or 5 days before testing.
