FEMARA TEETH SENSITIVITY

Posted by Mich x on 19 Jun 2012, 04:00AM

Hi girls

I haven't started taking any 5 year meds etc. myself yet but I have a girlfriend who has been on her BC journey for over 12 months now and she is on Femara and is having teeth sensitivity currently.

Is there anyone out there who has suffered from similar while on Femara?

We would appreciate your help.

Hi Mich,

 not sure about the Femara but I had tooth sensitivity and soreness and my dentist said it happens all the time with radiation as it drys the salivary glands and reduces fliud in the gums so the teeth suffer.

I was put on a topical creme called GC Tooth Mousse Plus and it helped heaps so maybe your friend could speak to her dentist.

Cheers

Cheryl
