Hello out there.
I vaguely remember reading somewhere about dental problems being a symptom of PD. Does anyone out there have this as I have started to have pain at the back of my right jaw. I’m seeing my dentist in a week or so and will ask her as well.
Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your dental pain. It’s definitely important to keep an eye on any changes happening in your mouth and address them as soon as possible. I’ve heard that some dental issues can be a symptom of PD, but it’s best to get a professional opinion from your dentist. They’ll be able to assess your situation and give you a clear answer.
In the meantime, if you’re looking for a top-notch Implant Dentistry in Lake County OH, I’d definitely recommend checking out them.

I’ve heard that dental pain can sometimes be related to PD, especially with things like grinding or clenching your teeth. It’s great that you’ve already got a dentist appointment lined up to get it checked out.
