11. Dental issues

Good oral hygiene is important for everyone, but gluten-sensitive individuals should be extra vigilant with their tooth-brushing habits. Along with digestive disturbances and skin conditions, gluten sensitivity can also make an unwelcome appearance in the mouth. Research shows that adults with celiac disease report more oral health problems than those without. Gluten intolerance causes inflammation throughout the body, including the gums, and people with celiac disease are at high risk for gingivitis. Xerostomia (or dry mouth) and dental enamel defects are also common, both of which increase the risk of cavities and tooth decay.
