One of the concerns that many of our patients face is the link between allergy medications and poor oral health. 

Although all allergy medication will state that they may cause symptoms like drowsiness, dizziness, and dry mouth - no-one actually knows about the impacts these medications will have on our oral health.

Dry mouth is likely to cause an increase in dental caries - like cavities and decay, oral candidiasis - Thrush along with altered taste sensations.

Here at the Medicine Wheel Dental and Wellness Center, we have a few suggestions regarding natural methods for alleviating allergy symptoms.
