YES, it is possible: Teeth can be negatively affected by many different medications and health conditions. Make sure to see your dentist to fully understand how the medicine you take affects your dental health. Your dentist can help you come up with a plan to protect your teeth. Whatever you do, don't make changes without consulting your prescribing physician.
