Vyvanse and your teeth
Generic name: Lisdexamfetamine · Class: CNS stimulant
Vyvanse is a long-acting stimulant prodrug used for ADHD and binge eating disorder.
Like other stimulants, Vyvanse is strongly associated with teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and dry mouth. The combination accelerates enamel wear, fractures fillings, and raises cavity risk. The dental management is similar to Adderall: protect the bite, manage saliva, and monitor for wear early.
