Medications + Your Oral Health

Medications can have oral side effects, including dry mouth. If you are taking any medications it is important to inform your dentist about them. You may not think to mention over the counter (non-prescription) medications, but they are important too! Some of the medicines that can produce dry mouth are:

Antihistamines
Decongestants
Pain Killers
Diuretics
High Blood Pressure Medications
Antidepressants

Other medications can cause other issues such as abnormal bleeding when you are brushing or flossing your teeth. If you have any concerns about your dental health and how medications can affect it, contact us at Dr. Sidarous and Associates in Saint Laurent. Your dental health is our priority!
