I was diagnosed with Smouldering High Risk Translocation T4:14 in May 2017 and an currently on watch and wait. My two front teeth have become infected and need removed. Could this be a side affect of Myeloma as I'm not on any medication yet and haven't been in the past??

I have lost most of my teeth also. It is very difficult and painful, when you try to eat.
