Thanks for writing to us.
No it is not bad for teeth.
Do not stop taking fluoxetine, even when you feel better. Only your healthcare provider can determine the length of treatment that is right for you.
Missing doses of fluoxetine may increase your risk for relapse in your symptoms.
please visit your dentist for regular chech-up.
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...
