Can Accutane Cause Discoloration of Teeth?

Lisuk87
I've been taking Accutane for 6 months. The dosage for the first 3 months was 20mg per day. Then the dosage was increased to 40mg per day. I have noticed a significant change in the enamel of my teeth as well as an increased tooth sensitivity. I immediately alerted my dermatologist who suggested I stop taking medication for 6 weeks, after which we would reconvene to assess the condition. I am keen to finish my treatment, I have 10 weeks to go, but I am concerned that I could damage my teeth.
