Has anyone experienced dental problems from Nephedipine?

[Berniz]

Has anyone experienced dental problems with Nephedipine? I had pain in a tooth that had already had a root canal. The endodontist drilled though the crown and cleaned out each canal and put medicine in it and a temporary filling. This took 2 disgusting procedures. I then went to my dentist to put a post in the tooth.I am still experiencing sensitivity. Nothing has changed.Also I may need 2 more crowns and root canals. The aforementioned are probably from age as the crowns don't last forever and shift. I am going to be 71 on Sunday.

I'm having dental problems at the moment although they're not as bad as yours. I believe it is very common in scleroderma - why do you think it may be due to the nifedipine?

For a specialist opinion the Eastman Dental Hospital would be the place.

Sending sympathy.

Hi.

Thanks for your reply. I don't have scleroderma, thank G-d. I live in the U.S. and am following up with a specialist.

Thanks.
