Specializes in Pediatrics

Lupus?: After 14 years its time to see a rheumatologist who can run appropriate blood tests if you have lupus. Its past time to find out what your problem is.

Maybe: Lupus is certainly possible although tooth decay is not a feature. See a rheumatologist, get the problem evaluated, and then you will know if lupus is present.

See below: Sjogren's would be at the top of my list as well as lupus to rule out. See a rheumatologist.
