The Devastating Effects of Meth Mouth

Methamphetamine doesn't just wreck your life; it completely destroys your mouth. It's a condition

called "meth mouth," and it's brutal. The drug causes extreme dry mouth, so you have no saliva

to protect your teeth. Users also crave and binge on sugary drinks.

On top of that, the drug makes you clench and grind your teeth, wearing them down.

This perfect storm creates a unique pattern of rampant cavities, often on the smooth

front surfaces of your teeth and between them. The decay is so aggressive and fast,

it's a truly devastating sign of the drug's effects.
