teeth problems

I think that would only be if on lyrica long term I would think. I have looked up side effects but I certainly haven't found a link with dental issues...dry mouth yes but not dental with lyrica.

 The only thing I can suggest though is perhaps you need to have a bone density scan. Osteoporosis can be a side effect of chemo (especially if we were close prior) and dental issues can be an indication of reduced bone density and leached calcium. Usually symptoms are shifting teeth or loose teeth.

Sounds like a good check up including Xrays would be a good start I guess.

When I was having chemo, my dentist commented on my apparent lack of any impact. She said problems were not unusual. I had the impression any impact was short term, so here's hoping you are in the clear.

@"Soldier Crab" Oh yes alot of people use Lyrica its actually used for Fibromyalgia believe it or not mainly. Its a great pain relief for nerves, I couldnt take it, made me really ill. But theres unfortunately loads of information on teeth problems associated with it. x

Hi Jane, I had demineralisation of my teeth after chemo so they coated them in a special remineralising gel then  put me on a high fluoride toothpaste. 

@melclarity
 I had lyrica for the nerve pains ;( 

Hey Jane,

I Had the mouth trouble, ulcers mainly, however once I finished treatment I went to the Dentist for a checkup and clean and they were absolutely fine, no problems and I get checked 6 monthly to make sure. So I havent had any problems with teeth feeling weird or decaying, brittle as such. I do know that one of the horrible side effects of Lyrica are these particular teeth problems, so don't know if youve ever had that. Its a pain relief.  Hugs Melinda xo
