Hey there, yes you are correct- multiple medications can affect your mouth and gum health which affects your teeth. Rx: * brush twice daily. * if any adverse habit like smoking/alcohol/ pipe etc. Please quit them. * have a healthy diet. * consult your physician and dentist regularly. Download Lybrate mobile app and use my doctoe code gm2c5d for any help.
