Description
Juan Manuel Alcázar-Hernández and two colleagues present a 2024 review of how antidepressant medicines affect the mouth. Use of these drugs is rising, and dentists often see dry mouth and tooth decay in patients who take them. The team gathered observational studies from the past two decades and judged their quality with a standard checklist.
Eleven studies met their bar, and they consistently tied antidepressant use to dry mouth, more cavities, and gum disease. Taste changes and bleeding issues also appeared. Two drug families, the SSRIs and the older tricyclics, were linked most often to dryness and decay. The drugs did not seem to change saliva chemistry or clotting during dental work. The authors urge closer dental monitoring for these patients.
