Hi..
Can understand your concern..
As per your complain
Amlodipine is a
CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKER and is used to control
high blood pressure.
It is seen in many cases that it leads to dental problems like overgrowth and inflammation of gums.
In case if you have some already happening dental problem like deposits on teeth and
gum infection there are chances of a more severe problem.
The enlargement of gums caused by amlodipine is known as DRUG INDUCED GINGIVAL ENLARGEMENT and it can lead to difficulty in maintaining proper hygiene, speech and eating and the inflammation can lead to damage to the underlying jaw bone leading to tooth loosening and finally
tooth loss.
If you have already lost 2 teeth i would suggest you to consult your physician and explain him the symptoms so that he can change your medicine.
You should visit a
dentist and get professional cleaning of teeth done to make them bacteria free as well as if your gums are swollen it will reduce the swelling to some extent.
At times excessively swollen gingiva needs surgical excision.
Use of antimicrobial mouthwash can help keeping
bacterial growth minimal.
A course of antibiotics can be taken.
But before all withdrawal of drug and replacement with other drugs is needed.
Hope your query is solved..
