Default Lyrica and my teeth

This is an issue I had not contemplated. Thoughout this pain issue, I have consumed SO many meds. Kept the bottles, just kind of as a "what have I consumed?" kind of thing. Curiosity. Have filled over two of those wheelie bags I used to take when travelling across the country for my former work.

I took Lyrica over a course of 18 months, as prescribed, using 1800mg per day. My dentist never commented that my teeth had "gone south" during this period, although I did have a root canal during this time because a molar just spontaneously broke! Ouch! Not fun!

My physiatrist was alarmed at the amount of surgeon prescribed Lyrica over the time frame I had used it. He switched me out to Neurontin 3000mg per day. I have not noticed further deterioration of my teeth, and just the other day, my dentist pronounced me as having good strong teeth. I'll take that to the bank.
