Not. I have severe sorpositive RA. I hadn’t had a cavity in 13 years and have amazing oral health. After my hip replacement (about a year after diagnosis, I had servere pain on the upper right side in the bone above the gum during a servere inflammatory episode, and at my very next dental visit, I was referred to a periodontist. The dentist said he thinks periodontal disease goes hand in hand with RA. The periodontist disagreed and so did my rheumatologist. How can people be specialists of periodontics and RA and not know if they are related, when I can tell you right now I was in no danger of tooth loss before RA?
Cheers 🥂

Alcohol is anti inflammatory??? Struggling with PMR, so popping a light beer.
