Dental problems

I have been taking imantinib for over 2yrs now. I have been suffering with dental issues. Has anybody else experienced dental issues whilst taking imantinib? 

Sorry to hear it. I have been on Gleevec almost six months. Dental appointment about 2 months ago and everything looked fine. But I do wake up every morning with a dry mouth and unpleasant taste/feeling in my mouth, and have wondered if that means bad news for the teeth sooner or later. I too would be interested to know if anyone has any information or experience in this area. Thanks and all the best to you. Justine

Oh yes. After 8 years on Imatinib my teeth are falling out. Is it my age or my medication I wonder.

Best
