Suggest Remedy For Dental Health Problems
I am a dental hygienist. I have a patient who admitted that for the past few years she has had MRSA. Her teeth are decaying at a rate I've never seen. Fillings are falling out. In six months she has 10 new cavities. Her teeth are literally falling apart. Does MRSA cause or contribute to this.

Hello
i have gone through your query.
MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) also called as oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA).in this case strain of Staphylococcus aureus is resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics.
drugs like vancomycin or sulfa drugs can help.
yes MRSA can contribute to oral and dental health condition.more colonization of resistant bacteria which hard to treat through regular antibiotics.
i would advice you to visit a dentist and discuss about the treatment plan.
Hope i answered your query.
