I've been on dilantin since I was 19 and now my teeth are literally falling out.

Submitted 2008-07-13

Defendant: Dilantin (side effects)

I have noticed, and others, that my hearing in my right ear is not so good anymore. Also, my teeth, which is quite embarrassing. I have only 4 teeth up top left and one missing so far on the bottom, but a lot of decay. I brush regularly. I read up on dilantin, and tooth decay was a possible side effect. Also, my speech a lot of the times I have to correct myself, because I'll get to talking and all of a sudden my words will slur all together. I have been taking dilantin since I was 19, and will be 37 next month, is that too long to be on one medicine ? Knock on wood, I haven't had a seizure in 12 years.
