I had a molar extracted this morning because of a huge hole below the
gum line.  This hole resulted from something called external
resorption which is apparently an auto immune response -- your tooth
does this to itself.  The dentists did not know if this auto immune
response had any connection with celiac disease.  I know certain
dental defects in children may signify celiac disease.  Has anyone
else had this problem?  It would be an interesting line of inquiry.
