Wait! your dental implant failed... because of an antidepressant?
This is what nobody tells you about SSRIs, and honestly, it’s terrifying.
Antidepressants like Lexapro, Prozac, and Zoloft are more common than ever—but they come with side effects your patients and your team might not be ready for. In this episode, we dig into the surprising ways these meds impact the mouth, including:
Why clenching and facial pain could be linked to SSRIs
The real reason some patients bleed more during procedures
A hidden connection between antidepressants and implant failure
A smarter way to talk to patients about what they’re really taking
Why dental assistants often hear things no one else does—and what to do about it
If you’re doing extractions, implants, or any kind of surgery, this info is a must. Plus, there’s a reminder for any dental assistant who might be struggling themselves: you’re not alone, and help is out there.
