long term use of medicine will it rot your teeth?!


Question:

Answers:
Some medicines can cause extreme dryness in the mouth. Not having adequate amounts of saliva in the mouth could possibly lead to cavities and left untreated could cause infections in the teeth requiring either root canals and crowns to be performed or extractions. It is important you keep your dentist up-to-date on what medications you are taking so he or she can be aware of any potential harm they could be causing your teeth and take measures to prevent such harm from occuring.

Other Answers:
No! Why should it?

if its speed based probably

If you clean your teeth regularly nothing should rot them. That is, nothing that is ingested by normal human beings that is part of a healthy diet. There is no doubt that sulfuric acid would damage them.

If it is meant to be like that it would be.

LoL where would you get that from? What medicine are you referring to?

yes i have heard of that especially young children who are on medicine i have seen the proof.oh and cordials. but normaly it is from the genes of the family.

look at the information in the medicine's box and read the side effects.

well may be, because long term usage of medic will cause effect not only on your teeth m but other parts of body as well.so u should be careful

no.

I agree with cherriest. One thing to note, the person who states it is in the genes could not be more wrong. Bad teeth are not genetic, bad diet, bad hygiene, foods and certain bacteria in high concentrations are what cause "bad teeth". One medication to be aware of that many people use that can cause dental problems are inhalers used for asthma.
