Pretty sure it has been established the damage to teeth and gums associated with meth use has more to do with poor (no) oral hygiene, not enough drinking water or eating healthy foods, and too much soda, candy and other stuff that is hard on the teeth.
I doubt smoking meth is good for the mouth, but it’s a relatively small factor next to lacking oral hygiene. I have known many meth users who smoked a lot but took really good care of their teeth and didn’t have any problems.
To some degree dental health is also about genetics, so some people will be more unlucky with this than others (a professor once told me that about genetics, I don’t know about it personally).
