Hi I’m new here but not new to Epilepsy and side effects. I have learned a great deal over the yrs and there are plenty of dos and don’ts to stay healthy. About the tender gums. I experienced that when on generic, severely. Not so much on brand. This is typically an indication that your body is not getting enough nutrients for cell growth/repair and dry mouth or deyhration. I have been able to combate with extra vitamin C supplements. I do not eat/drink citrus as I feel it interferes with my medication levels. First hand bad experience with that! Plus, maintain good dental hygiene. Twice a year cleanings, brush frequently with soft bristles and use mouthwash! Drinking plenty of water is always a good idea, as well.

Dilantin is notorious for causing dental problems, not sure about Keppra. Try using coconut oil on your teeth, it helped my daughter after Dilantin destroyed the enamel.

is that all you do Kev? my gums have started coming away from a couple of teeth in the past few days. Ive been using a teething gel for pain which helps a little but this seems like its excelerating to fast for me.

I'm in the USA, lol no problem
