Hi there I was wondering if anybody can answer my question I am 27 been diagnosed with RA for 2 years now. I was brushing my teeth and noticed above my front teeth that there is like a discoloration of my gums on the top and bottom. Kinda like a brown or blueish color. Never had teeth problems before. Currently taking Arava,prednisone,celebrex,lodine,plaquinel also just started remicade but noticed the discoloration before remicade. Unfortunatly I am a smoker but not that much maybe 7 a day.I just dont know what it could be can anybody help please let me know and I do have some pain meds that I take as well. THANK YOU DAWN
With RA, it is really important to stay healthy. Have you talked
to anyone about getting help to quit smoking? I don't mean like a
doctor, but just someone to be accountable to, like a good friend or
husband.
Well you see I have been smoking for a while but I only really smoke about 6 cigs a day if that. I dont smoke at home around the kids nor in my car just at work from the stress. I been to the dentist a month ago and everything looked good then. As I was brushing its just a little spot not like all over just two little spots on the top and bottom and was wondering if this has happened because of the meds but I go for my second Remicade treatment tomorrow and will ask the doc then. I know this is going to sound funny but I stopped drinking alcohol,coffee and I just wont give up the few cigs that I enjoy. But thanks anyways
