My son was just starting to have gum overgrowth problems with dilantin when he switched meds. He was around 9 at that time.

We used an electric toothbrush and that seemed to help some. We were told that frequent cleanings 2-3 times a year was necessary while on dilantin and that cleaning teeth well daily would help prevent some problems.

I hope your cleaning went ok.
