Cari, I have had an almost identical experience. I was taking Cogentin at the time. My dentist looked it up...and found Cogentin causes dry mouth. In less than 6 months I had 8 new cavities. I immediately quit taking it. No more cavities. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cari Barrett <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2000 11:26 AM Subject: PD and dental damage > i've not yet utilized the method of "plugging in a search word" to get > previous info on any subject, so bear with me - > > my dad just called yesterday and told me that at his 6 month check up with > the dentist - they found 16 cavities - 6 months ago there were none - > > granted, my father loves sweets and eats them often at night (or when he > wakes up in the middle of the night) and doesn't always rinse his mouth out - > but this has been going on for a couple of years (the night treats, i mean) > AND he daily uses the highly recommended SONIC toothbrush - > > what would cause such a dramatic difference all of the sudden? > > thanks much - > cari > daughter of. . .
