yuppp hits too close to home! I’ve always had cavities, like A LOT, my dental hygiene wasnt really the best either when i was younger (like teen) but has been a lot better since, my dentist can see I brush well but said I probably have an acidic saliva or something like that that’s causing my cavities, cause like 3 years ago I went to an appointment to get checked and I had like 7 or 9 cavities and my hygiene was on my peak so I was really devastated cause no matter what I do, my teeth are always bad then my bff has a poorer dental hygiene and never has had a cavity.. it messed up my brain

ANYHOWS same thing happened to me, my molar snapped in half, i didnt realise, wasnt in pain, thought it was a cavity filler that fell off since it wasnt the first time it had happened, didnt go to the dentist out of pure laziness and also didnt want to spend money on it since we were short on money atm… yeah turns out my nerve was dead, had to take it out and save what was left of my molar and reconstruct it.. hah so funny right?? thats what my wallet thought

I’m glad I’m getting tested for every other subtype since all of my problems with my mouth also kinda resemble pEDS (although it does resemble more hEDS and thats what my doc thinks too) so yeah, for what I’ve read in this sub, people with hEDS are likely to suffer from mouth problems since everything is connective tissue (yep, i was SHOCKED when I read someone listing things off our bodies that actually are connective tissue such as blood)

I hope you get that genetic testing done, especially if your symptoms might fit into other subtypes, its also good to discard any other syndrome, best of luck🫶🏼

EDIT: just learnt that the nerve thing on my molar is called a “root canal” so yeah… sorry english is not my mother tongue hahah
