I'm pretty sure that Babs was talking only to those of us who are citizens of Great Britain and not the US.
Dental insurance is usually a separate policy for those of us who live in the US. Dentures certainly don't come under property insurance here and I've never come across insurance for the term "household contents" in the US.

Liquid Dilantin caused me to develop bleeding gums & weakened my teeth to the point that if I eat certain foods( corn on cob, steak, etc... Also apples if I don't cut them into quarters first.).

MargeryHarrop, I have been taking Dilantin since '78 because it is the only drug that seems to help me. The problem, like Babs said, is what it does to your teeth. My gums were inflamed to the point that the bleeding would not stop 'til long after I was done brushing. And this can be an expensive treatment. I easily have $20,000 in my teeth now and am told that I will need $15,000 more. So if something else controls your seizures, by all means try it.

I took Dilantin for 42 years. It was the only drug that successfully controlled my seizures. As a child they tried every epilepsy drug except Dilantin. The doctor did not want to put an 11 year old on this drug, but he did not have a choice. So, he showed me awful pictures of what dilantin does if you have any tarter on your teeth. I was diligent about the care of my teeth and still am today. My dentist has told me that I am the only one he has ever seen that has taken Dilantin long term and shows no effect on the gums. He said most lose their teeth. I am now 68 and he still complements me every time I go in. I now take Keppra and I get migraine headaches. At my next appointment I am going to ask for Dilantin.

Hi, LesleyDonnelly, when I first started taking phenytoin 56 years ago my dosage was 600mg a day, now I only take 300mg a day with one other AED, what is your dosage?
