Drugs such as METHAMPHETAMINE rob the body of nutrients. Add that to the lack of desire to care for oneself when strung out, and there you have it.
Why do drug addicts always seem to have rotten teeth?
If it comes down to a choice between more drugs or dental care, what do you think they are gonna pick? LOL
Reply:Because they don't eat right and the drugs probably effect their nutrition
Reply:A lot of drugs that are burned and inhaled have corrosive chemicals that attack the enamel in the teeth.
Reply:it might be because DOPE has become the MOST important thing in their lives...
Reply:The drugs make them stupid so they forget to take care of the basic things. Plus the drugs take nutrients away from the body and chemicals in some drugs do direct damage to enamel on the outside of teeth and gums.
Reply:Because the drugs take over their life and they don't make time for personal hygiene.
Reply:i am an addict but my teeth are fine. maybe some just don't brush 'em through pure laziness
Reply:The extreme heat from some drugs (smoking crack, etc.) overheats the teeth and they craze and crack, opening them up to decay. That and poor nutrution and non-existent hygiene all together is a recipe for rotten teeth.
Reply:I work in this area. By the time I see my clients they have already been in withdrawal for a while. Without fail they find that the opiates have masked all physical pain - if it isn't bad teeth - because some pople do try to look after themselves - it can be undiscovered injuries or absecesses. These suddenly take on a major importance in the clients lives as they have to deal with cravings and the extra pain which they have been able to fade out with the drugs. There are rumours that methadone leeches into the teeth and bones - this is not true. Sugar free methadone is usually used to prevent dental caries.
Reply:Drugs dry the oral cavity, decay sets in, and saliva is then unavailable to help in fighting off bacteria. Becuase of the dehydration, drug users typically turn to sodas to quench their thirst, this furthers the decay of an alreay vulnerable cavity.
They've coined a new term called "Meth Mouth". Do a google search on this term and you will learn even more.

Can you get braces with almost rotten teeth?
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO PUT BRACES ON ROTTEN TEETH?
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A JERRY SPRINGER SHOW TO ME...ARE YOU FROM ALABAMA?
WHAT TRAILOR PARK DO YOU LIVE IN?
Can you get braces with almost rotten teeth?
No. The teeth would have to be taken care of first. The reason, your rotten teeth could not withstand the tightening of the braces to straighten the teeth.
Reply:Get the teeth worked on first--then worry about braces.
Reply:No, your teeth have to be in sound condition.
Reply:Nope youll have to have them worked on. Dentures may be the way to go.
Reply:Why would you want to? You don't paint a rusty car. Get em fixed first, or just get false teeth.

Would you trust a dentist with rotten teeth?
YES, i think that it shows that he is so busy helping other people that he has no time for himself. Why else would he be busy but because he is so good everyone wants him. It is the patients before teeth that you want to look at more then him. I for one have never met a dentist with bad teeeth.
Would you trust a dentist with rotten teeth?
Hmmm... about as much as I'd trust a barber with a dodgy haircut!
Reply:I don't trust them anyway
What a carreer choice
Reply:No, never. I'd doubt his skill if he can't even take care his own teeth.
Reply:About as much as I'd trust an explosives expert with an eye patch, hook for a hand and peg leg, named "Lucky"
Reply:Umm, no!! I left a dentist because he had bad breath, rotten teeth is even worse!
Reply:1.No because he or she must be role example to others by cleaning the teeth and should be clean and tidy.
Reply:Absolutely not. Although having said that, the real incompetent dentist would be whoever treats his teeth, as obviously he can't work on his own mouth.
Reply:lol they cant do there own teeth ya no mate
Reply:No way! If that can't look after their own teeth how can I trust them to look after mine.

How come Brits have such rotten teeth?
At first I thought it was a big joke, but the more Limeys I meet, the more I see jack-o-lantern type grills. I've always thought the Brits had a distinguished approach to life but it doesn't seem like they care much about oral hygeine.
And I don't even want to get into their breath. BLECCH!
I'm not trying to perpetuate a stereotype in ANY way but it seems like all the British people I meet ARE. Can someone shed some light on this?
How come Brits have such rotten teeth?
There was a garbage strike in the 70's, and because all the trash piled into the streets they had to so something, fast. so The best idea they came up with was to eat it;and sadly their teeth have
suffered
Reply:This stereotype is slowly changing. Brits do not all have bad teeth anymore.
Every country has rich and poor, and usually the poor have bad dental health.
Reply:maybe they enjoy stoppng cars....
Reply:they smoke their as*es off
Reply:I think that they are just now starting to focuse on Oral Hygen over there so most of the Adults you have met there parents were not as worried about it as we have
Reply:gee have you been to the south in the U.S ? A good pick up line to meet someone is "nice tooth".
Reply:We Brits drink lots of strong tea that leaves a brown stain on the teeth. We also have a terrible dentistry service that charge far more than they should so lot of us go without proper dental care.
Reply:they smoke and drink
Reply:Too much candy i guess

I have really bad rotten teeth and they're falling apart really bad. Anybody else ever have this?
When I was almost 3 I had to have all my teeth pulled out cuz they were so rotten. I don%26#039;t remember that, but I do remeber I had no teeth til I was in 3rd grade. When my adult teeth came in they were already rotten. I don%26#039;t have any enamel on my teeth and they were never very white. They%26#039;re more a sort of a brownish yellow, with dark brown places and holes in them. Pieces break off a lot and I had to have a lot of my back teeth pulled out already. What I have left is falling apart. I want to just have them all pulled out, but the dentist I went to said he wouldn%26#039;t do it cuz I%26#039;m only 12 and they can be saved but it will cost a lot. I%26#039;d rather go toothless like before than be stuck with ugly teeth that are always breaking, or sit thru alot of work. Besides my mom said it will cost almost as much as our house and we can%26#039;t afford it. My mom had all her teeth pulled out and she got fake teeth when she was in high school. I%26#039;d rather do that too, or just stay toothless like I was before.

I would imagine that having your teeth pulled out is about the only option along with replacing them with false teeth. The thing is that at your age your mouth is still growing which is probably one of the reasons your dentist is reluctant to do anything now. When the time comes you don%26#039;t have to make the most expensive choices . You can get false teeth at a reasonable price and they last a long time.I can only imagine how you must be feeling with such a dilemma. As hard as it is, try and be patient , the time will come when something can be done. In the meantime ..... I%26#039;ll wish for you the biggest most beautiful smiles : ) take care k
Reply:No, don%26#039;t do it. If you have lots of money, veneers are the way to go. But if you don%26#039;t, don%26#039;t consider transplants.
Don%26#039;t have no teeth, that%26#039;s such a turn off and worse than rotting teeth.
Reply:i added your question to my watch list because i am truly curious as to the cause of your problem and how you will handle it.
i am far older than you are and still have most of my teeth. my top teeth look very nice and straight, but because a dummy dentist pulled a bicuspid when i was a little girl and never put a bridge there (bottom), my bottom teeth came in crooked. they are gradually pulling apart. sometimes one will become abcessed and so painful i need to go to the emergency room--that pain can make you literally scream every time you move your mouth! i am certain that (since i never had an abcess up on the top teeth) this too is a result of never getting a bridge! if the teeth pull apart unnaturally, then germs can get into the gums a lot easier, so i think.
my goal is to keep my teeth. i know others that had all their teeth pulled because of some of the same problems that i have. but i do not need to have them pulled and will not: my friends that did get into pain from their dentures. when they take them out, their mouths pucker inward. some of my friends would rather wear chadors than let anyone see that they do not have natural teeth! they have pain chewing.
i hope you can, perhaps, get to a university-based dental clinic to get the work done. i really and truly suggest that you keep your natural teeth. a dentist would not say he refuses to pull them if he did not think that fixing them will be better for you in the future. you might also wish to speak to a therapist/psychologist about how you feel about yourself with this problem. it must be hard on you.
good luck!
Reply:i have never heard of this happening to children.i cant believe it.what caused this for you and your mom?i wish you luck.you can find a dentist that will take partial paymentsw also.

Rotten teeth?
Tooth of my molars, in the past 2 weeks, have sort of crumbled away.
2 bottom molars on the right side, right next to one another. On the inside of the mouth.
Are my teeth rotting or is something else going on. What is my dentist going to say?
Rotten teeth?
your dentist will say. %26quot;You should have come sooner%26quot;......Lol
Reply:That you raelly need a sugery or something.
Reply:You%26#039;ll probably need to have them pulled. If they keep rotting in your mouth, the bacteria will build up causing a horrible smell and infection. This can lead to an abcess that can be dangerous and get into your bloodstream and spread to your brain. No joke.
Reply:Wow- that is terrible. Sounds like your teeth are rotting. Your dentist is going to wonder what you did to make your teeth rot. He is also going to be happy, b/c it means alot of money in his pocket..........
