Unmanaged gluten sensitivity can also cause vomiting, particularly in children which can further exacerbate oral symptoms. Vomiting creates an acidic environment in the mouth which can cause dryness, soreness, redness, chronic sore throats, and erosion of your tooth enamel. Erosion can cause further complication as it increases the risk of decay, causing more sensitivity and cavities.

In addition, overall poor nutrition can lead to tooth decay and subsequent loss when the body isn’t getting the nutrients it needs for proper oral health. Tooth decay and loss exacerbate concerns around malnutrition as they cause issues with chewing and the mechanical aspects of digestion. Poor digestion and absorption of nutrients creates even more malnutrition.
