Can Solco Clonazepam Cause Tooth Loss?

Question: Can solco clonazepam cause tooth loss?

Answered by Dr. Neha Sumra (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
It causes dry mouth which eventually leads to loose tooth

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

Clonazepam is an anti-anxiety drug which may lead to dry mouth. If oral hygiene is not maintained then this dry mouth may lead to tooth decay which further leads to loose tooth. Therefore, it’s indirectly related to loose tooth.
If you experience dry mouth, then try to take treatment for it and get regular check ups done, so that your oral hygiene is maintained and there is little chance of any tooth loss.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks
Kind Regards

Thanks for responding but I asked a specific question and you gave me a generic answer.
I have used clonazepam for several years and am well aware of and delt with the issue of dry mouth and good dental practices. When my pharmacist changed me from accord to solco, I had an immediate response of headache, sore jaw and upset stomach. Obviously, I stopped using it but within a few weeks I had a took break off (while eating chocolate ice cream). I have now lost 2 more teeth and wonder if there is something in solco that causes that. If so others should be warned about this problem. Would appreciate it if you have any data. Thanks!

Hi there,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I have answered the query as per the given question. There is no direct relationship of this drug with gum disease or tooth decay. It is only responsible for dry mouth which may further lead to tooth decay and tooth loss. If you need further help then you can check with your general physician.

Hope this helps.
