Wisdom teeth infection?
Question:
>Any kind of extra bacterial load may aggravate psoriasis.
True. When I had my cellulitis infection in the rash from my Enbrel allergic reaction (long story), I flared up in skin psoriasis all over, maybe 90% coverage in one DAY. Pretty scary I tell you… When I discussed it with the dermatologist, he said it is not uncommon; any kind of bacterial infection can cause a flare in psoriasis. Happily mine was very temporary; once I was put on heavy-duty antibiotics for the infection, my skin calmed down and with the help of some Dovonex ointment, went back to its previous very low coverage of maybe 5 percent or less.

Hey David, whether it is related to the Ps or not, you need to get that taken care of. If money is the problem, try asking around with some dentists asking if they can help you and offer you payment terms. You’d be surprised how much some of them will bend over backwards to help out somebody who needs it. You can also post to sci.med.dentistry for some frank replies from several dentists and other dental specialists. Yeah, there’s some weird stuff there too, but hey, this is Usenet. :) LadyAndy Chat live with us at >http://tinyurl.com/4ust < (this is at iVillageHealth – my chats are on Sun evenings at 10 ET) Joint Replacement Board at http://boards.ivillagehealth.com/cgi-bin/boards/bhivhjointreplace

Any kind of extra bacterial load may aggravate psoriasis. Haven’t they reported a couple of times in recent years that heart disease correlates to arterial inflammation correlates to dental hygiene? Brush your teeth, protect your heart, and maybe reduce your psoriasis, at least a tad. J.

According to my dermatologist and most things I have read, quite often the first onset of psoriasis comes about during a time of stress. I would say that two abscessed teeth would qualify very well. — Chuck "If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain it. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time." Abraham Lincoln

I am curious if anyone has had any experience with decaying/impacted/infected wisdom teeth triggering psoriasis. I had no signs of psoriasis until about two years ago. My wisdom teeth first popped up four or five years ago. Now one tooth bothers me on, and off, and I have little doubt that it is infected. I plan on having all four removed soon. Any experiences, or guesses would be appreciated. Jeffrey Wilk

Yo I can relate to this. I had 2 abcessing teeth and a couple of cavites for about 18months because I didn’t have the money to get them fixed with a dentist. about 6 months into the painful ordeal I got P for the the first time and had it ever since. Now I just got my teeth fixed (2 root canals, 5 fillings and a deep cleaning Its been about a week since my last dentist appointment and my P is a little better. Which suprised me becasue it should be worse seeing as I havent gone to the tanning bed in awhile. Don’t know if the dental problems are a definite link for sure. And if it was, it could have been the stress from the whole situation, or the infection, or both.
