I have been on Detrol La (4 mg) for almost one year due to OAB. This medication has given me much relief with only a side effect of a dry mouth. Recently I went to my dentist on a routine visit and his diagnose indicated that I had 5 cavities. This was unusual since I had not had any cavities for at least the last five years. The dentist asked if I had a dry mouth, which I confirmed. He said that he believed that this is the cause of my cavities. He also thought that the Detrol medication contributed to the dry mouth, which caused the cavities. Since I had the cavities taken care of I have been experience sensitivity and pain in my jaw and some of my teeth. I do not wish to stop taking Detrol because it has given me much needed relief. I was wondering if anyone on this Post has had similar experience. If so, I would appreciate any assistance on how you resolved this problem. Thank you.
