Lichen in the mouth.
Posted , 5 users are following.
For about seven years I've had LS. About four years ago I started having receding gum problems. A year ago my dentist found that two crowns had decayed between the crowns and the teeth and had to be pulled. It's been a year now and the pain is intense. One of the teeth had such deep roots that one root had to be drilled out after the surgeon found it had broken off. The rest of the teeth are now exposing part of the roots. I've lost 20 pounds because if I eat anything and it touches the exposed part of the root I have sharp shooting pain that goes up to my cheek bone.
Just wondered if anyone else had such a problem. I'm at a point that I used to eat and enjoy food but am afraid to eat anything anymore.

My dentist has given me Fluocinonide 0.05%. It does help but the stabbing pain is so bad I am using it every AM & PM. I had the condition before but the removal of the two teeth increased it. I have a lot of crowns due to the fact when my teeth were coming in I had Rhumatic Fever. If I lose another it would scare me to death.
