Asthma inhalers and dental decay
by pauldstein, Feb 11, 2007 12:00AM
I have been using asthma inhalers for many years to control mild excercise induced asthma. Approx 2 years ago switched to Advair from Ventolin. Recent visit to dentist has shown SIGNIFICANT increase in decay. I am not a sweet eater and no other real reasons for this. Prior history relatively normal ie teeth not great but not this bad. Dentist remarked that only seen such rapid and widespread decay in "crystal meth drug users". They are somewhat convinced asthma med has something to do with this rate of decay.
Are you aware of any such findings?

I have done some research and have found no connection between the use of Adair and increased incidence of dental caries.
