Yes. My hand is raised to sadly say...ME TOO. Have lost 5 teeth, making me dressed for Halloween already. i look very scary. Also, I have NO ZERO SENSE OF TASTE OR SMELL. Dry mouth and there are times I could peel the paint off our walls when I breathe. YECCCHH. Have started initial visits with new dental team since moving. Lots of work forthcoming, so I may be on donut rationing. NO...NO, that's not going to happen.
Yes it can, I am living proof of it. I was diagnosed with Geographic Tongue some four years ago but it did not respond to treatment. Normally gone in six weeks when treated, mine is still active today. Only when I mentioned it to my heart specialist did the penny drop and a visit to the Royal Free Hospital in London confirm Amyloid Polyneuropathy ATTR-PN. The pain in my right leg suggests that I also suffer from ATTR-CM, but that is conjecture on my part.

Don’t know what is worse on the mouth Sjögren’s Syndome or Amyloid, I have both. As soon as your saliva goes your in trouble. With Sjögren’s I had several root canals on top of root canals, Amyloid attacked my gums which loosened the teeth. I am seeing a prosthodontist, they deal implants. Sucking on sugarless sour candy is part o treatment , induces salivation, I never did well on rinses and artificial saliva (this grossed me out) I am going to have some teeth pulled.
Thanks Richard seeing my dentist Monday am hope all with you as can be
