A member asked:

I was wondering is it possible to get 9 cavities, deep pockets, and bone loss within the matter of 5-7 months?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Sjogren syndrome with dry eyes and side effect of biphosphonates can do this. Rheumatologist should be able to come up with a plan.

Dr Stevens and another doctor agreed
