15- Dental Issues

Dental issues do arise from gluten intolerance. Cavities, canker sores as well as tooth decay and certain cases of broken teeth can be a headache for you if you are gluten intolerant. This is seen in patients with a previously undiagnosed celiac disease or gluten intolerance. The best explanation is that calcium levels of gluten intolerance patients can be surprisingly low. This calcium is always needed by healthy teeth to maintain enamel and for the gums to stay strong. These levels are low because of malabsorption, which is caused by gluten intolerance and yet gluten intake in the diet.
