Does anyone else with EDS have horrific teeth problems? I have multiple cavities every 6 months and am currently going for my second root canal this month after getting a severe infection from dental crowns. Any advice to make it stop?? 😭

I brush my teeth 2-3x a day and floss multiple times a week, but my gums bleed no matter what I do or use

some types of hEDS affect our teeth and it sucks. Especially if you have other conditions that just compound it. As a child of a retired orthodontist I got all the hate for “not brushing” until one dentist explained that she can see I am, and it’s not just me it’s my teeth for lack of better words, suck and there’s not much we can do
