Gabapentin: Gabapentin can cause dry mouth and a dry mouth will increase your risk of tooth decay. Work with your dentist to control the damage caused by dry mouth. Reduce the amount of sugars and acids in your diet. Chewing xylitol gum can increase saliva. Biotene makes a number of products specifically for patients with dry mouth.

Gabapentin: Along with its wanted effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. The most common side effects of the gabapentin is dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, weight gain, and dry mouth. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine.
