If you're taking medications for
certain health conditions, it may not have crossed your mind that they
can also impact your oral health. After all, medications are supposed to
bring equilibrium back to your system, not stir things up, right? Truth
is a variety of prescribed medications can affect your teeth. Antihistamines may cause dry mouth
syndrome, which can lead to sore gums, making the mouth more prone to
infection. Contraceptives and blood pressure medications may cause mouth
sores, gum inflammation and discoloration. |
