Complications of Untreated Dry Eyes and Dry
Mouth
Many symptoms of Sjogren's can be treated
with medications. Along with seeing a rheumatologist
regularly, patients should also seek dental and
eye care.
Without treatment, Sjogren's syndrome
sufferers may experience accelerated dental caries,
periodontal disease, poor fitting dentures, sialolithiasis, oral
candidiasis, oral
ulcers, weight loss, malnutrition, depression,
sleep deprivation, fibromyalgia,
bacterial conjunctivitis, corneal
ulcers, corneal perforation and loss of vision.
