Fifty years of SSRI-related oral side effects: A call for interprofessional collaboration
The oral side effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) include xerostomia, gingival bleeding, burning mouth syndrome, bruxism, and temporomandibular disorders (TMD), impacting the quality of life (QoL). These stomatognathic diseases are often overlooked in clinical practice. This comment advocates interprofessional relations among physicians, pharmacists and dentists to improve the recognition, prevention and management of SSRI-related oral side effects.
