Some drugs dry your mouth out really bad and this can lead to rapid decay.
I recently went through a whole scenario with my teeth. A fraud dentist out there wanted to remove all of my amalgam fillings and replace them with composite fillings which is a procedure deemed unethical by the American Dental Assn.
I went to another dentist and got a second opinion. I had a few small cavities and needed a cleaning. I had all of this taken care of on Monday and the dentist told me that my teeth were sound and that I'd have them for the rest of my life.
I brush twice daily and floss at least once a day just FYI.
I hope you can figure out which drug is causing this problem.
I'm sorry you've had so many of them which is not only expensive as can be but also not fun!
And then there is the possibility of steroids causing problems to your teeth.
Talk to your neurologist.
BTW, I did get rid of my amalgam fillings with other fillings slowly but surely over the years. I didn't do it all at once because the fillings can itself release mercury when they are removed. So please be careful of scams and fraudulent dentists. Best of luck.
