Tamoxifen side effects

Hi everyone. I've been on tamoxifen for three years and have had endless problems with my teeth cracking and sore gums. Until I started taking tamoxifen I had few problems with my teeth but I've seen my dentist 8 times since August and 18 since starting tamoxifen. I'd be interested to know if anyone has experienced similar problems 

Take care

  •  I had lots of problems with tamoxifen including sore gums, muscle cramps, sweats. Eventually I stopped taking it. Big mistake. My cancer spread. Think very carefully if you are tempted to stop. Talk to your Onc.
