Can Anything Else Happen?
Today was my annual cleaning and x-ray session at the dentist. Keep in mind I've been seeing the same dentist for the past five years...
And low and behold during my cleaning the hygienist asked me about my heath and any recent changes...I mentioned the pituitary problem. I asked her why and she began to inform me about the dramatic turn my teeth have begun to take since my last visit. She promptly pulled my file and asked me when this had all started...and guess what there was a sharp decline in my oral health since this all started almost to the day!
So the good news today, my teeth haven't fallen out yet. The bad news, I have impeccably clean teeth and gums but there is a major problem below. It seems I am experiencing bone loss related to all this and I will like need to have my gums re-grafted over my teeth since they are pulling away. All in an attempt to save these very clean, white teeth.
I wonder, by the time they decide to do anything - will there be anything left to save? My hair, my body, my organs, and now my teeth...so, can anything else possibly happen?

When is your diagnosis, treatment, and Dx?
Not sure...it's been months since this started and I thought it would have been sooner so I no longer make predictions
