I am a 45 year old male and have been taking pain meds daily since 2005. I have been on many different meds all giving you dry mouth. Now I was told along time ago I had gum disease. My teeth are falling out, two in the front in the last six months. And the two in the very front are lose. Some one told me that because of the constant dry mouth it can cause you to eventually to lose your teeth? has anyone heard of this?
