In reply to Re: Can Klonopin help cause fillings? » Jackster, posted by mattdds on October 5, 2003, at 21:03:59

Hi, I go to the dentist Tuesday, due to a piece of a filling he did a few months ago chipping. I have that sensitive feeling. I didn't know that Klonopin is associated with increased salivary flow. I take it, and maybe thought my cavities were due to it, but I'm also on Lexapro too.
May I ask what this Prevident is? Is it safe to use with pyschiatric meds, meaning no reaction, etc.?
I would like to remineralize the decay, (if that's what it turns out to be, but he just filled 8 cavities a few months ago...and I never had a cavity up until a few years ago), without having to drill it out.
Hooray for the new thinking in dentistry!
Do you think this would be a good thing to try while on the meds I mentioned?
Thanks,
Kristen


> I would also personally inquire about topical fluoride supplementation (Prevident 5000, for example). A while back, I had a small cavity (during dental school), that I was able to completely remineralize (confirmed with an X-ray taken by my friend) with very thorough brushing and flossing and ACT fluoride rinse. Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to remineralize decay without having to drill it out (assuming they are very small, and confined to enamel). This represents the new thinking in dentistry.
