(Abst.) Teeth loss after teriflunomide treatment... on: July 10, 2018, 11:35:30 am #1 Only a few cases are reported here but in general anyone on Aubagio--or anyone with MS, for that matter--is probably well advised to maintain good oral hygiene and not to skip or postpone dental work. From PubMed, July 10, 2018--"Teeth loss after teriflunomide treatment: Casual or causal? A short case series": Teeth loss after teriflunomide treatment: Casual or causal? A short case series - PubMed We underline the importance to assess concomitant teeth morbidity and to recommend accurate oral hygiene before and during teriflunomide treatment.

Re: (Abst.) Teeth loss after teriflunomide treatment... Reply #1 on: December 26, 2018, 11:35:47 am #2 I'm in an Aubagio forum on Facebook and there are several people there reporting tooth loss. I have to wonder if it's more related to diet or Aubagio? My mouth is full of fillings from my youth but I haven't had any teeth pulled after being on it for over three years. Logged

I know I have trouble grasping a toothbrush and holding it right--and seeing what I'm doing. Hope you can hang onto your teeth. Logged MS Speaks--online for 20 yearsSPMS, diagnosed 1980.
