Can medications and mental disorders cause tooth problems?!


Question:

Can medications and mental disorders cause tooth problems?

Can certain types of medications and mental disorders cause problems with tooth decay, growth, losing, regrowing, etc...


Answers:

Sure.
Many medications affect calcium absorption, and can lead to tooth decay.
Some mental disorders can have tooth-grinding as a symptom, and this can cause damage to teeth and ultimately decay.
I never heard of re-growing teeth, but I suppose it is possible?
Anyway, if you are being treated for mental disorders, you should probably see your dentist more than once a year.
