Red face GVHD and TEETH

Hello everyone,

I have been so busy with trips to the good dentist. Twice a week! Last week I had two root canals, molar teeth. My front teeth have cavities !! I cannot believe it, I brush my teeth twice a day!

I think I have had more dental problems than in my whole life time before my SCT.

I am still on immunosuppressants and prednisolone, so maybe that's the culprit. I haven't talked to the hematologist, the transplant group, or the hospital's dentist to see what's wrong, I did what everyone does, I went on the internet:

There's also a site on neutropenia and teeth, but my neuts are fine, so it's the GVHD and my sweet tooth wrecking this dental havoc.
