I am on 20mg of Zyprexa and it is causing extreme dental problems, I have had several cavities and 3 crowns in the last several years. The dentist says I have a dry mouth and that is causing my problems. The dry mouth is a side effect of Zyprexa which I have been on for 24 years. Anybody with similar problems?
Yes, I’m on Lybalvi (Zyprexa plus samidorphan) and it’s a nightmare when i keep waking up with a parched mouth. It’s not so bad during the day cuz i chew gum but at night it’s terrible.
yep. i had dry mouth for a while because of benztropine. i think it helped damage my teeth. i think i got 14 fillings last year, 2 extractions, and a crown. and now i need 5 fillings this year. i have 3 missing molars now.
Yes. I got dry mouth from Congentin which made me need a lot of dental work. I spent about $12,000 on root canals and crowns and fillings. My dentist recommended Ice Chips candy to combat dry mouth. I just had a tooth pulled recently and I’m going in for a root canal in a week or so and then I’ll need two crowns.
I read about some people who don’t go in for check ups and just brush occasionally who don’t have dental problems and I’m jealous. I brush twice a day and have two cleanings a year and still my teeth have cost me a small fortune.
I’m also on 20mg Olanzapin and haven’t have dry mouth.
I had this problem on higher doses of zyprexa, but I have always been good at drinking water. I drink minimum 2 litres each day. Staying well hydrated helps.
