Anybody having Dental problems with triple therapy?

[MsDragonSlayer]

I have never had such a screwed up mouth.  I really think this triple therapy has totally effected my dental work. Am I alone in this?  Anybody else experiencing these sides?  These are sx are not listed. I have had 2 crowns fall off in a week.  Is it just me?

Thanks guys for any feedback!

Unfortunately one of the sx's of tx is a dry mouth and anytime you have a dry mouth your teeth are not getting the saliva they need to stay healthy.  Also, if you even had a very slight case of gingivitis before tx, then tx may push you over the edge into full blown disgusting gum disease=gingivitis.  The only thing you can do during tx to fight the effects of the INF/Riba and whatever else is to keep your mouth as wet as possible.  It's not just about drinking a gallon of water and more a day but taking anything that promotes good oral hygiene is a plus too.  Biotene products are very good  in the fight to keep good chompers. lol

Hi I forgot I tried magic mouthwash cause the mouth problem first started with thrush which I had the last time.  The thing that has really helped me is biotene and they make everything in mouth care and a peroxol rinse
Thank you for asking

Hi I lost a crown the same week you had your teeth cleaned.  I do not know if one has anything to do with the other
I did notice, no saliva, bleeding lips, gunk in my mouth I could not easily brush away, a biofilm I have been reading about
I think Biotene is great, have every product.  I did not produce salivva for weeks.  I bought some other mouth products but my tonge was so sensitive I could not use candy or gum.  I just kept using mouth gel and spray.  Now that I am better I am usin a peroxal alternating with salt water and am much better
I am completely comfortable today compared to yesterday and last week.  I have received no return call from my hepatologist bu another doctor helped me over the phone as he has heard how tough this tx can be.  I know it is tough this is my second triple tx (relapsed from last one 6 weeks after stopping)
Good luck C

There's a mouth wash you can get for dry mouth at drug stores.
My dentist got me started on xylitol products specifically to deal with dry mouth. There is gum, toothpaste, mouth spray, etc. You can order them online. Google epic xylitol.

Okay, i see its not just me...looks like at least 4 times a day I need to brush, water pic, gargle, floss, biotine, magic mouthwash and go back to the dentist often.  What a nightmare!

Thanks a lot :-(
