Nikkie,

I am so sorry you are experiencing these problems with Lupron. Unfortunately, your problems with teeth are probably less related to the amount of saliva and more related to the effects of Lupron on bone density. Are you taking add-back therapy along with the Lupron? If I were in your position I would ask my doctor about this option. The intent is to minimize bone loss. I would also inquire about a bone density test to find out how the rest of your bones are doing. If there is a bone density issue, you do not want to let it progress unchecked, especially if you have the option to check it now.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

-Anna
