Oral biopsy when immunosuppressed.

I've actually already been diagnosed with Sjögren's. I saw the oral surgeon because of my mouth being so sore I can hardly eat anything that is acidic or rough in texture. He didn't think the biopsy was necessary in my case. I'll have to look into that Facebook page. Always good to hear what others are finding that helps. Thanks for your response.

Sure, know a Rheumatologist is not going to go by your Dentist's diagnosis to treat you. Did the Dentist give you the RX for dry mouth that a Rheumatologist of ENT would give? For someone who has had Sjogren's for 30yrs, just trying to warn you that you can be putting yourself in harms way not having an MD for Sjogren's, because if an issue comes up you could wait months to get into a Rheumatologist. It generally starts with dry mouth and/ or eyes, but Sjogren's only gets worse not better over time. Best Wishes
