So sorry to hear that you've had trouble with your teeth, I can understand the frustration as I see it frequently.  I am a dental hygienist and I would like to offer some info.  There is a paste, called MI Paste, offered in dental offices.  It helps remineralize teeth, increasing calcium and phosphate absorption.  When you have digestion issues, this paste can really help.  Is't also great for symptoms of dry mouth associated with taking many diffeerent meds.  I have a lot of patients who use it.  MI stands for Minimally Invasive, not absorbed into the bloodstream.  It should be a help to you and others, if you need more information Google MI Paste and it gives a good description.  Good luck.

Not fun - I can relate - I've had teeth issues since I got sick in my 40's - rant away anytime. Personally, some days I think false teeth would be easier.

Ruth, I'm so sorry that really stinks.  Check out that MI paste stuff.  I think going to ask about it, because I need two fillings in Dec.  I didn't tell my dentist about my WLS.  I know my hygenist really well and another one in the office and neither one of them knows about my surgery.  I might have to suck it up and tell.  I'm so afraid to have my teeth start falling apart, it can't be fun....
