Lightbulb I have a few suggestions...

1) I switched from Vasotec to Lisinopril and it was much better cough wise.

2) ACE inhibitors deplete zinc and over time your skin and mucous membranes can suffer.
here is an article:

I haven't met a doctor yet who understands this.

3) Pain in the mouth can be from vitamin B12 deficiency.
Taking a quality oral tablet or sublingual may help. 1000mcg is a good start.
Please check posts at our Vitamin forum for examples.

4) Low Vit D levels also are suspected in mouth/gum disease.

5) CoQ-10 also improves the mouth, along with Vit C.

Some people become irritated with sucking on hard candies.
And some are allergic to triclosan in toothpastes.

I take it your doctor examined you and ruled out Thrush/Candida?

If you have open sores in the mouth rinsing with Peroxyl mouthwash sometimes helps heal this up quickly.

So you have alot to check out!
