“I have served as a cosmetic dentist in Beverly Hills since 1980. Since then, my primary intention has been to first preserve my patient’s teeth for the rest of their lives and then enhance and beautify their existing smile.”
In my office, you receive the best in optimum dental health and artistic, aesthetically pleasing cosmetic dentistry. Here I am sharing a little insight regarding common medications that can affect your teeth and gums and the treatment you are considering.
Studies show that two of every five adults take medication that could have dental-related side effects. Depending on your age, this risk can be doubled. In addition to prescribed and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements can also cause oral health issues. The side effects can range from dry mouth (causing cavities or tooth decay) to inflamed gum (gingivitis), taste alterations, and possibly bone loss (periodontal disease).
Some of the most common side effects from medications that affect oral health include:
* Dry Mouth, which can lead to bad breath, or Halitosis
* Abnormal Bleeding
* Altered Taste
* Inflammation, Mouth Sores, or Discoloration of soft tissues
* Enlarged Gums
* Cavities
* Teeth and Gum discoloration (stains)
Some drugs can cause intrinsic stains of teeth, meaning teeth whitening products are ineffective, and you may need dental veneers or porcelain veneers to mask the discoloration.
To provide optimal health care, it is best to have your cosmetic dentist maintain communication with your physician and you. It is of utmost importance that you complete the health questionnaire and disclose your medications and dosages.
