I started taking Chantix in August right after I had my teeth cleaned by a periodontal office which I was doing every three months. Three months later my periodontal disease which had been controlled for four years came back full force. I had just had an implant placed in July and now am in fear of losing it along with some other teeth. I have had to have new bone graphs and gigival flap cleanings trying to stop the problem. I have now been off the drug four months and things seem to be going better. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR PERIODONTIST IF YOU HAVE EVER HAD PERIODONTAL DISEASE BEFORE TAKING THIS DRUG.
Your story sounds exactly like mine. Had been having my cleaning every 3 months for years and everything was maintaining well. I had a cleaning in Aug 2007 started Chantix in Sept., my quit date was Sept 5. I am still not smoking!!!!!!!! I took Chantix until the end a Dec. I had my teeth cleaned by by periodontist in Jan 2008, it is unbelievable how much my periodontal prognosis has change, I need bone grafts and may lose some teeth. I just can't believe this now I am a non-smoker with severe periodontal issues. Does your periodontist think this bone resorption will respond to treatment or keeping getting worse?
