Ms. Liu, who was less than 40 years old, had lost 8 teeth in two years, and there were many dental caries in the remaining teeth. She jokingly said, "There are more teeth than 7 -year -old daughter." Recently, she passed the inspection of the Rheumatology and Immunology Department of the Houhu Hospital of Wuhan Central Hospital, and finally found out that the cause of teeth was caused by a dry syndrome.

Ms. Liu, 37, lived in Houhu in her house. She started to lose her teeth two years ago. She had dropped 8 teeth in two years. Many of the remaining teeth are black now. Ms. Liu, who is less than 40, has the teeth in her mouth like an old man aged seven or eighty years old. During this period, Ms. Liu had been clinic at the oral clinic, and kept replenishing teeth, ducts and other treatment, but the effect was not very good.

Three days ago, Ms. Liu came to the Houhu Hospital of Wuhan Central Hospital because of toothache. She joked to tell the doctor: "She has dropped her teeth in the past two years than that of 7 -year -old daughter." The doctor After asking the situation, it was found that Ms. Liu not only had the problem of teeth, but also often dry her mouth, dry eyes, drinking water, and frequent urination. She suspected that she had a dry syndrome. She suggested that she go to rheumatism and immunology. Subsequently, Fang Yan, deputy chief physician of the Rheumatology Department, conducted an immunology examination for Ms. Liu, and had a lacrimal glands and salivary glands, and the mumm gland dysfunction. Eventually she was diagnosed with a dry syndrome.

According to the deputy chief physician of Fang Yan, Ms. Liu's teeth are called "rampant caries" in medicine, which is a bit different from ordinary dental caries. But the roots are still there. There will be a process of normal dental caries, and it is not easy to repeat and more. Only the treatment will be effective. Drying syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disease based on outer secretion glands such as lacrimal glands and salivary glands. In particular, middle -aged women are more likely to suffer from the disease. Its performance is not only dry mouth and dry eyes. It also has symptoms such as dry skin, itching, rash, dental caries, joint pain. In addition, it will also affect the internal organs, such as interior pneumonia, abnormal renal function, and lymphoma.

Deputy Chief Physician Fang Yan reminded that the citizens occasionally appear dry and dry in the summer, which cannot explain the problem. However, when dry mouth and dry eyes last for more than 3 months, they should be paid attention to. Especially when there is a "want to cry without tears", drinking a lot of water does not thirst, and dry foods such as biscuits need to be taken with water to swallow, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment.
