The medicines that we consume often help us to overcome our ailments. But, what we do not is that they are equally harmful to our health. Our oral health is also affected adversely due to the medicines we consume that are not even prescribed by our doctors. The following is the list of medicines that affect your oral health:
1.Bleeding: if you have the habit of consuming blood-thinning medicines such as aspirin, you have a high chance of an encounter with heavy bleeding during a dental surgery. The medicines like aspirin is usually prescribed to those who has a stroke previously or faced a heart attack.
2.Altered taste: if the drugs you are consuming are anti-inflammatory or smoking-cessation then it will lead to change in the mouth sensation or it may also add a metallic taste to your tongue.
3.Enlarged gums: there are a few antiepileptic drugs that help to lower the blood pressure but these medicines cause the gums to enlarge. The enlargements are not harmful but they distort the look of your mouth. If you face this, you need to consult your orthodontist in Scituate.
