Can Dilaudid Cause Gum Erosion With A Dry Mouth?
are there known cases of people who suffered major gum erosure using Dilaudid? A side effect is dry mouth and due to an accident I must breathe through my mouth, especially when sleeping. My dentist says my gums eroded and it was due to Dilaudid. I experience severe mouth and head pain, and am on gabapentin, which sometimes works, sometimes not. thank you.

Hello,
Read your query as you have dry mouth yes this can be due to drug induced also , for this I will suggest you to consult Periodontist and go for oral prophylaxis and you can chew sugarless chewgum for dry mouth and take a sip of water in short interval to avoid dry mouth .
Consult your physician for drug Dilaudid for needful opinion .
Hope this will help you.
