How youever had to expliain seizures to a
oral hygenists that took me about an hour
to build up the confidence to have my
teeth cleaned. Has anyone taken dilantin
and had problems with your teeth and gums.

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.
