How does high blood pressure medication affect gums? Those who suffer from high blood pressure may experience several side effects related to medication. For instance, calcium channel blockers are a type of hypertension medication known to cause gum overgrowth. When this troubling symptom advances, chewing can become difficult and proper cleaning becomes near impossible.
With enlarged gums, it is easier for bacteria to settle under the gumline. Even after a deep cleaning, plaque starts to build up and gum disease can take hold. Mild cases of gum disease, in early stages called gingivitis, can progress into a more serious condition called periodontitis. At this point, gum tissue starts to fail and tooth loss can occur. Please consult with your Dr and Dentist for some specific treatments.

Frictional Keratosis is a benign reaction of the oral mucosa to chronic mechanical irritation. This condition leads to a thickened, white patch on the affected tissue.Frictional Keratosis commonly arises in areas where frequent rubbing occurs, such as where the teeth meet the cheek. Persistent irritation, like that from dental appliances or cheek biting, prompts the mouth’s protective response. This response manifests as a tough, whitish lesion that helps shield the underlying tissues from further trauma.
