Default Dentist hygienist said Verpamil cause gum probs

Hi,

After my teeth cleaning the hygienist reminded me about Wellbutrin and dry mouth. She also told me that Verapamil causes a specific type of swelling of the gums (can't remember the name). I have to watch the gums and floss carefully and so on. I've been on Verapamil since 1993 or so and no one told me that.

Did I tell you I got my braces off last week!!!!

No one could do a proper cleaning while I was on the braces.
I'm feeling better about eating now too. Before the braces, I could only eat food that was completely mushy. Now the bite problems have mostly been corrected and the braces are out of the way and I can start rethinking food.

And yes, these teeth probs were stressful and depressing. I'm ready to move on to happy teeth.
M.
