Sjogren’s Syndrome (SS): Implications in Oral Health

Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disease where the body’s cells that offer protection (immunity), attack the body’s own cells. This affects several organs of the body, producing a wide range of symptoms. Early diagnosis and the patient’s understanding of this ailment go a long way in improving quality of life. It can affect multiple organs, including the gut and the central nervous system. This disease is much more common in women.
