Possibly: Potential dental risk factors in autoimmune diseases include: mercury exposure from "silver" fillings, infected root canal teeth, and old extraction sites which did not heal well.

Not established: About 1/3 can see spontaneous remission, 1/3 stabilize on chronic medications, and 1/3 have progressive difficulties. Chronic and/or longterm medications may aid but can have significant adverse impact on life and/or health. In appropriate candidates, minimally invasive thoracic surgery to remove thymus (thymectomy) can possibly cure or stabilize disease or decrease amount and/or types of meds.
