zoloft and cavities

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to discern if there is any connection between my taking Zoloft

and cavities. I did research on-line and it did say that Zoloft can cause

you to have dry mouth which can lead to more cavities but that doesn't seem

to be the case here. My 11 yo daughter began Zoloft about 1.75 years ago.

Before that she only ever had one very small cavity. Now her mouth is full

of them. In one sixth month period between dental appointments, she went

from having no cavity in one of her permanent molars to having almost half

the tooth completely eaten away. During that sixth month period she brushed

twice per day and flossed and mouth washed with a fluoride based mouth wash

once per day. The dentist was dumbfounded because she does not have dry

mouth. He said it was shocking and he had no idea why her teeth were

rotting like that but that he would change medications. The doctor said it

wasn't likely to be the zoloft, but that is the only thing that has changed.

Have any of you experienced anything similar?

Thanks!

Shaw
