2. I had healthy teeth.

But when I was really sick with pcp pneumonia and a cd4 count of 3, I was getting sores in my mouth to where I couldn't brush my teeth because of the pain and it went down hill from there (not eating so no vitamins just to name one)

When I was well enough to start brushing my teeth again the damage had been done, the enamel on my teeth was gone and it hut with anything sweet, cold or hot.

Not sure how your heath is but I would suggest seeing a dentist immediately for a treatment plan. For me it was to late.

I was one of the lucky one's, I had money to deal with the problem. Having surgery to have all my teeth removed and implants put in to replace my teeth was the route I took but at about $25,000.00, that wasn't a good option.
