Default Keep up on your DENTAL checkups!

While on this med!! I haven't looked up the status of an alleged Phizer 'lawsuit' regarding this med, but there is supposedly one going on.
Several here at NT had claimed rapid tooth decay while on Lyrica.
I was one of them.
Just wondered if any of you have noticed any change in your dental.

Yes, I had been taking other meds which do cause dry mouth and any med that causes dry mouth can ultimately make our teeth more prone to decay.
But I had been taking those other meds for a substantial amount of time and everything was ok.
During my 8 month (nightmare) on Lyrica is when the rapid tooth decay came on and I've had to have teeth pulled because they were beyond saving.
Thankfully I was able to catch one in time and salvaged it with simple filling.

Lyrica IMO is a drug that came straight from the pit of HE**

I hope you are having better luck with it.
Just make sure your dental is current and checked often.
