Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes severe abdominal issues, but it can also cause dental problems as well. In fact, as many as 87% of children diagnosed with celiac disease have dental enamel defects.
However, since it typically takes 6-10 years to be correctly diagnosed with celiac disease after health and dental problems surface, many people continue to eat foods that contain gluten and, thus, continue to unknowingly damage their dental enamel through adolescence and into adulthood.
