THE TEETH AFTER AND BEFOREMethamphetamine (crystal meth) use significantly impacts oral health, leading to severe and rapid deterioration often referred to as meth mouth. This condition involves extensive tooth decay and other forms of oral damage. Its progression can be quick and linked to crystal meth use. The teeth often appear blackened, stained, rotting, and crumbling, sometimes breaking or falling out entirely. But if you get clean and your left with meth mouth there is ways too help with getting your teeth back. Basic restorative procedures like fillings address cavities, while extractions are necessary for teeth that are beyond repair. Crowns and bridges can restore the function and appearance of damaged or missing teeth. When extensive tooth loss occurs, dentures or dental implants offer options for rehabilitation replacing missing teeth and restoring chewing ability. These interventions aim to rebuild oral function and improve overall quality of life. Beyond immediate repairs, ongoing oral treatment is important for maintaining long-term oral health, including consistent brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups. |
