Question
I have been diagnosed with Sjogren's for over a year.  Before this, I have started loosing my teeth due to severe dry mouth for years. thanks for your prompt response.


Answer
Hey Brenda,

I do not have any personal experience with Sjorgen's syndrome but perhaps I can give you my 2 cents.

It seems to me that the root of this is kidney yin deficiency from the what information I have. The Kidney channel rules the teeth
Most likely an imbalance with the triple burner system the transports yin(fluid) and qi(energy) through the three lvls of the body. There are sure to be other dominos that have fallen, but these are the 2 I can speculate on given the information.

I hope this was useful, feel free to ask again, I'll be more prompt in the future.

Have a good day, and good luck,
