I still think there are a few missing....such as tooth decay and enamel issues....god my gums are so sensitive and i get real problems with sensitivity and pain when trying to brush them. They tend to bleed...sometimes i can only use floss and a mouthrinse...come to think of it i still owe my dentist £86.00 lol!!! :lol: for 9 fillings...

Angy,

You're right, there are other symptoms that should be on that list. I also had serious tooth enamel problems, TMJ, swollen lymph nodes, etc.
