Indirectly, yes.: The medications you're taking can cause dry mouth, which can in turn result in higher tooth decay and gum disease among other things. This is a good time to connect with your dentist about your medical care & medications; determine if extra steps need to be taken to manage challenges before they become problems. Be well :-).

Medication and decay: All of these drugs cause dry mouth. This dry mouth leads to increased risk for cavities. Therefore you must increase your homecare, unfortunately the reason for the medication can result in less homecare and an increase desire for carbohydrates. They can also induce grinding, if you have periodontal disease they can lead to mobile teeth.
