Dilantin dies cause gum problems. I go to the dentist 4 times a year instead of 2. Go every 3 mos., and have just been diagnosed with neuropathy! Dilantin did solve my issues at one time, but has now caused more!

I took it for a long time

I took Dilantin when I was younger, it was effective for me. But I chewed it and it didn’t taste like medicine, it was just from what I remember a mint flavor. So sometimes I didn’t really know if I was taking real medicine, I thought I could have been the placebo effect Dr.s used during wars, giving sugar pills instead of real medication. It also bothered my gums

Curly,
I took a lot of the older AEDs when younger. Will mention the Dilantin to my Dentist. I had pre and now Osteoperosis. Have been taking Vitamin D and Calcium for a long time. Just had my Bone Density done yesterday.

I have Dry Mouth. I will ask my Dentist more. I called my GP to prescribe something for it.
