How Does Your Child's Asthma Medications Cause Dental Problems?
The medications in your child's inhalers could be the culprits behind his or her dental problems. Although your child's inhalers help him or her breathe better when the symptoms of asthma show up, the inhalers can dry out the moisture in your child's mouth if he or she uses them regularly. The medications used in inhalers contain bronchodilators, which are medications used to open up blocked air passages in the lungs.
