My Spapsms from my SPS are having a secondary consequence on my teeth. For years I have worn a soft mouth guard at night religiously, but as my SPS progresses it has caused my teeth to crack and chip. All the medications also lead to tooth decay, weakness. I am now having to get crowns and root canals. Even just standard cleanings set off my spasms. I take an extra Baclofen a few hrs before I go. I also take dark sunglasses and keep my eyes closed as much as possible to avoid the light. I have tried to explain the disease and have also insisted they put a mouth bite in so that if I do go into spasms I won't bite them, or their instruments which would shatter my teeth. They can't have the mouth bite in while they are cleaning though. Between the noise of the instruments, the bright lights and having to hold my head and jaw in a set position for so long really makes spasms and cramps worsen.
Starting another crown this week so any suggestions or tips would be appreciated.
Thanks
