Medication & Dentures

Did you know that certain medications can impact your dentures? It’s crucial to stay informed about how your medications may affect your oral health. Here’s a quick heads-up:
👄 Dry Mouth Meds: Some meds can lead to dry mouth, reducing saliva flow. Saliva is key for denture comfort and function.

💊 Antifungals: Watch out for meds treating fungal infections—oral flora balance can be affected, leading to issues like thrush.

🩸 Blood Thinners: Inform your dentist if you’re on these. They can increase bleeding risk during dental procedures.

🦴 Bone Health Meds: Treatments for bone conditions may impact the density of the bone supporting dentures.

🤕 Pain Meds: Follow dosage guidelines. Some may cause drowsiness or dizziness, affecting denture comfort.

🚨 Side Effects: Meds can have side effects impacting oral mucosa, leading to irritation or inflammation.
