Has anyone experienced tooth discoloration with Lyme? I'm noticing that my bottom teeth have grey spots along the upper edges. Is it from the antibiotics? Like so many other aspects of Lyme, I was not prepared for this one.

Hi yogi,

I so understand what you are saying about not being prepared for these different aspects of Lyme. I was just looking at how my jaw clenching has made me chip my tooth. Rats!

My doc told me that there was a great war being waged in my body and that I was collateral damage. Kind of put things into perspective for me.

I do hope your teeth are returned to their original color.

Hey Achievinggrace~
I have the jaw clenching thing from time to time as well, have you tried putting peppermint oil on your jaw joint? It really helped me, and since most of us have peppermint extract in our house, it's easy enough to try!

If someone were to want to continue to use Peppermint in this way, I would heavily suggest that they go to a health food store and buy pure peppermint oil though.

I got this when I was on zithromax. But it went away after I stopped taking it.

That's good to know, diaba. I'm hoping that will be the case with me too.

I like the war metaphor, achievinggrace. It certainly feels that way.
