long term use of cortef on teeth?
9/11/01 1:11 PM

Hi everyone,

I just noticed my 2 1/2 year old's teeth just don't look right.  It looks like a few of them are starting to chip a little and the tops of a few look like they are wearing away.  I noticed on one of her canine teeth has like a hole on the front of the tooth.  She is on the liquid hydrocortisone and I do sometimes just squirt the medicine when she is sleeping (sometimes three times a day).  Could this be sitting in her mouth too long and hurting her teeth?  I do try to squirt it in the back of her mouth/throat and I hear her swallow it right away but probably some of it stays in her mouth all night.  I would appreciate any input you guys might have.  I have an appt. with her dentist (first appt.) on Friday.

Thanks in advance
