i
have gotten brittle teeth that break at nothing. i was told t5hat the medication could be doing it, and i have no dental insurance on medicare.
i always took care of my teeth. flossing brushing check ups etc., and it still happens. now i need dentures and dont have dental ins, they could have infections and i do believe that would be a medical thing but my ins wont cover any thing that has to do with teeth. seems that they should since it can end up killing you.
I get cavities so often and I take care of my teeth.
I am on Copaxone, and just had my 6 month check up. My crowns are loosening and I am not seven years out from when they where put on to have them replaced
i was told that the copaxone will give you brittle teeth, and i believe it. i heard it from my states dental assoc. and it sucks that medicare wont help with the dental problems caused by a drug, any drug. i too have been on copaxone for 12 yrs and i am going to try to get on one of the oral drugs. i am sick of shooting myself, and if there is an oral drug that is supposedly as good or better i will jump at it.
I have problems with dry mouth. My dentist give me a special mouthwash. I am on copaxone, and have been for 12-15 years. I was taking it when it was in was in the drug testing phase. I do have problems with some of my teeth starting to chip. I don't blame it on copacxone.
