Hello Doctor,
I've recently started taking aripiprazole and buspirone, and I'm noticing that my teeth and gums are really hurting. Could this be a side effect of one of these medications?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Both aripiprazole and buspirone have been associated with potential side effects related to oral health, although painful teeth and gums are not commonly reported side effects for either medication. However, any new symptoms or changes in your oral health should be discussed with your healthcare provider, as they can help determine the cause and appropriate course of action. It’s possible that other factors, such as dental issues or oral hygiene habits, could be contributing to your symptoms. Your healthcare provider may recommend further evaluation or adjustments to your medication regimen if necessary.
Thanks
