Question:
I'm glad I've started paying attention to this website again because I have had trouble with my teeth for years. Dentists have paid more attention to teeth grinding during fits than drug side effects and I was prescribed covers to be worn all the time on upper and lower teeth. Doctors did not pay any attention to the painful gum bloating effect of phenytoin. The combination was too much of a nuisance and I just wore a top one only during the night. Unfortunately, my latest replacement was not made well and tried to move some of my teeth. Since I've stopped using it, one of my molars has broken and left different teeth feeling pressure due to mental tension. This was soon after my dentist retired so I'm lucky that the broken tooth was already too dead to be painful. Positive suggestions: a) clean teeth thoroughly as soon as possible after eating b) eat plenty of calcium via food such as cheese (but don't forget its fat) c) try things such as calcium fluoride (which I take in non-medical tablets to help with varicose veins). My husband reckons that being classified as non-medical they'll only have tiny amounts of anything likely to be effective.

Answer: Don't know if you are using the homeopathic calcium fluoride which I think may have low doses of fluoride. However, fluorical has an astonishing 3.75 mg of fluoride. Just so you know here are fluoride's side effects, including seizures, from emedicine.com: http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic181.htm
