It was Christmas morning. I made a cup of tea and ate a soft buttterfly bun cake as a treat!! I thought it was a hard sweetie on top.....no, to my horror it was a bottom front tooth!! No pain though, bonus!

Sorry to hear about your tooth loss. When I was on Isosorbide Mononitrate I did not notice any dry mouth.

A friend's wife lost two teeth which was put down to dehydration. Your total fluid intake should be at least two litres per day. It has to be noted that coffee and alcohol act as diuretics which is why many have a glass of water with their expresso.

[Tricia7048 in reply to MichaelJH]

I have poor kidney function and am only aĺlowed 1 litre a day!!

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Tricia7048]

I think it may be worth trying a mouth moisturiser like Gum Hydral gel to prevent further issues. It's probably worth ringing your dentist as GPs seem to try and avoid anything to do with teeth.

Hello

I am also sorry to hear that you lost a tooth

I am hoping it was a back one where you will not notice it missing

Have you had clarification the med is the cause of this ?

If so and they feel it could be an ongoing thing I would ask if there is something else I could take but fingers crossed this is a one of

Wishing you a Happy New Year x

[Tricia7048 in reply to Hidden]

No it was a bottom front one! Thank goodness for facemasks!!

[Hidden in reply to Tricia7048]

O dear I am sorry

Yes a face mask will help at the moment and you made me smile as despite the distress losing it you seem you are trying to still keep your sense of humour which I have found if we can helps when things happen and hopefully they may be able to do a little bridge and put one back in

I have had a bridge and you cannot tell they are not your teeth so something you could look into when the time is right x

[Tricia7048 in reply to Hidden]

I will look at that option after the holidays! Yes my sense of humour still wotks!! If you didnt laugh, you'd cry!

[Hidden in reply to Tricia7048]

My sentiments exactly ! x

Hello Sorry to hear of your tooth loss but could you please explain how it is down to Isosorbide Mononitrate a Medication taken by Hundred of Thousands of people around the World ??

Have you reported this as a side effect of this medication ? Do you not think tooth loss could be caused by Statins or Bisoprolol ??

Personally I have been on this medication on and off for 6 years and I have my teeth !!!

Regards

[Tricia7048 in reply to Prada47]

Well I dont take statins or bisoprolol! I dont know for sure. May just be an unlucky coincidence. No Ive done nothing so far, its Christmas holidays. I hope you can lighten up.a little, life isnt all black and white! Wishing you and everone else kind rnough to reply, a very Happy Nrw Year!!

[Prada47 in reply to Tricia7048]

I am light enough just I feel a little miffed when something is blamed without any relevant information.

The reference to Statins and Bisoprolol is a joke they get blamed for so much else !!

[gladliz in reply to Prada47]

Phew! Thank goodness you added that bit about Bisoprolol being a joke. Have been on it for 10 years and have been having tooth problems myself recently. Was starting to get worried especially as your posts/replies always seem so knowledgeable.😮

[Tricia7048 in reply to gladliz]

My problem with Bisoprolol was gaining 20kg weight then bad kidney stones so had to stop it after 3 years and these are well known side effects. I hope you stay ok. Happy New Year

Hello So annoying when stuff happens like this have you noticed or is just me it’s always Christmas time! When things decide to turn upside down Hope you get sorted soon - wishing you a happy healthy new year take care 😊x

[ChoochSiesta in reply to Retirement65]

My toilet stopped flushing on Xmas eve. So I need to use a full bucket of water instead. Don't think I'll be able to lift that after my bypass! Don't you just love life sometimes? 🙄

[Prada47 in reply to ChoochSiesta]

especially when the tap is downstairs and the loo is upstairs !!!

[Tricia7048]

And some smartie will say is that because you are taking isosorbide monowotsit and have you reported this as a side effect!!! What are they like today!?!!

[Prada47]

Hello Just pulled a filling that will teach me not to eat toffee eclairs !!!

[Lezzers in reply to Prada47]

Toffee eclairs!!! My teeth would fall out just thinking about them!

[ChoochSiesta in reply to Prada47]

No need for chewing at all. They just melt!
