Does Your Seizure Medicine/s Make Your Teeth/gums Bleed?
I brush my teeth 2x a day, but lately, I've noticed bleeding in my mouth & when I spit. I went to the dentist & she said there's nothing wrong with my teeth, no cavities or anything. I asked her why I get blood in my mouth & she said it might be my seizure medications.
My mama was on dilantin for years and the same thing happened to her. Constant abscess's.
I used warm salt water to rinse my mouth out every day. It seemed to help.
Each person is different with their medications. Bleeding gums from AED's are possible for anyone. I was on Keppra but not long enough to know if it would cause bleeding gums. I had that issue with Topiramate. I was on that one for 2+ years. I told my Neuro and he said it was possible with any AED.
For pulling infections out of your mouth, Use Organic all natural Coconut oil everyday for a couple of minutes a day for 2 weeks. Depending on the infection, the time used will very.
My daughter takes Depakote and her gums bleed.
That could be a sign of low platelets which is caused by many medications
