    Hi @gazrobbo

    What an interesting query. I know from having Sjogren's syndrome that a dry mouth can cause problems, and of course ultimately all the above could lead to losing teeth. I always see my dentist every 6 months and have careful 'mouth hygiene', brushing, using those little bottle brush things and mouthwash seems to work well.

    I've had a look at the website information on this and it seems that people with psoriatic arthritis PsA can be prone to gum and tooth disease, here's the link

    For anyone with rheumatoid arthritis RA there is information here

    Hope that helps

    Yvonne x
