    What problems can untreated gum disease cause?
    I have been ill, reoccurring sinus infections (even sinus surgery) joint pain, crazy rashes, migraines and jaw and neck pain as well as reoccurring upper respiratory infection, I'm thinking my broken off, and sensitive crumbling teeth may be the culprit... could bad teeth and or gums cause these issues? I was treated for the sinus infection and upper respiratory infections less than 2 weeks ago and the headaches and jaw and neck pain have come back again. It hurts to brush the teeth, they are really sensitive to hot or cold. I was diagnosed as a diabetic four years ago.. have no idea how long the diabetes was untreated before I fainted and was told I had diabetes.
