Anastrazole and teeth problems
Has anyone else had teeth problems while taking the Anastrazole? I have been taking it since 8/2021 but my teeth are suddenly chipping and cracking. My front teeth feel different as well. I was told I have to take it for 10 years and am afraid by the end I won't have teeth left - lol! Any comments would be welcome.
Take care!!

That must be what has happened to my teeth. I had to stop taking AIs after a year. My sides were making my life he'll. Since my ILC was caught very early and I had a DMX my onco took me off. I started with Anestrozole and changed after 6 months to exemestane. It's been at least 6 months since I've stopped. My teeth have definitely shifted. Every time I eat, no matter what it is, between almost evey back and side tooth I have food crammed between them. This just started within the last few months. I never put it together with taking the AIs, but I bet it's related.

4 ReactionsI'm so sorry to hear this. It's hard enough to fight thru cancer but then to deal with this as well. My Oncologist has told me there is another medication besides Anastrazole. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and she was worried about joint pain. She takes a yearly bone density test. I spoke to my dentist about all of these new issues and they said radiation can also affect your teeth. I'm not really sure what is the cause but there has been a big change in the health of my teeth. Wishing you the best. Stay strong!
