Ask Your Neurologist about that. There's toothpaste out that will help with enamel. Mostly, brush and floss a couple of times daily.

Honestly I never attributed it to the meds but at the time the doctors I was seeing were constantly changing meds Lamictal being included. But I thought the amount I was brushing with “crest” I was doing the damage. I’ve switched to Superba exclusively and have settled on Kepra or generic and all is well. Try it you won’t regret it. I know it says Men’s but nobody’s looking. Lol

I got Hyperplasia from Dilantin. Dilantin also causes gum recession and I'm in my 60s and am not looking forward to dentures. I've got very bad recession on my lower front teeth.
