Welcome to OCF. While I am sorry that yet another person is affected by this disease, I am glad that you have found us. I think you will find these boards populated by some very knowledgeable and caring individuals, who have been down the paths of either caregiver or patient before you. Take the time to read through the body of the site, particularly the treatment sections and the complications page found in the dental section. When you don't find what you are looking for, someone here will undoubtedly have been through it before and help you out. Be strong, it is a long process, but doable with support from those around you, and from your new "cyber" friends here at OCF.
