Ek autoimmune condition jisme immune system moisture-producing glands pe attack karta hai — lacrimal (aansu) aur salivary (saliva) glands dono। Result: dry eyes aur severe dry mouth।
Dental Problems
- Severe dry mouth (xerostomia): Saliva almost nahi — yeh bacteria, acid, aur food particles flush nahi karta
- Rapid multiple cavities: "Rampant caries" — saliva protection ke bina cavity bahut tez badhti hai
- Gum disease tez: Dry environment mein bacteria thrive karte hain
- Oral thrush: Fungal infection zyada common
- Difficulty speaking, eating, swallowing
Dental Management
- ✅ High-fluoride products: Prescription fluoride toothpaste aur rinse zaroori
- ✅ Saliva substitutes/stimulants: Pilocarpine ya saliva spray
- ✅ Har 3 mahine dental checkup — zyada frequent monitoring
- ✅ Sugar bilkul avoid: Minimal saliva mein sugar bahut risky
- ✅ Paani baar baar pena
- ✅ Rheumatologist + dentist coordination
