You need to search for and follow/join those of us who've also suffered from extensive tooth loss as a result of having been prescribed/taken any of the "oxy" pain medications. There are many of us! Look for the discussion thread called "Oxycontin damaged my teeth".... Be sure to read the very first post (that started it all), as well as as many, if not all of the subsequent posts. The posts toward the end (like within the last year or so) will cover what we as a group are trying to do to"get our smiles back" We may not be successful, and its definitely going to take A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT, but one thing is certain... nothing will happen if we don't at least try to make something happen! Hope to see you on our forum, Christine

Your teeth can be affected by many medications, especially narcotics. The problem is caused due to the fact that they tend to sap the minerals from your body, plus they cause dry mouth, which allows more bacteria to sit on your teeth.

From the medications you are taking, all of the narcotics, the Oxycontin, Co-Codamol, Oxynorm and the Fentanyl can cause a loss of calcium, as well as dry mouth.

And the Amitryptiline can also cause dry mouth as a side effect.

Many people on long-term narcotic pain management end up with severe dental issues and a lot have lost all their teeth and required dentures or implants.

Is there anything else I can help with?
