where'd you hear this?
My doctors have always told me that it was fine to sublingual my oral benzodiazepines.

I don't know what doctors or studies say. All I have is my personal experience. YMMV
I used to sublingual my Xanax, but it started to cause some soreness and dryness. I started noticing it after about 3-4 months of doing it daily (about 1mg). I rarely sublingual my Xanax now and the sores have subsided. I still do it occasionally if I don't have water and its fine.

Many people are rx'ed benzos to be taken this way. It's fairly common.

Never heard of this.
some of them can cause slight irritation. clonazepam never was an issue or lorazepam. most prominent issue is lots of benzos taste awful and sublingual causes you to taste em for a while.

I never heard any negative effects from sublingual. Just the bad taste.
I've done it to get them to kick in faster that's it.

If you have read this, surely the article explained why it was bad for the teeth and gums, no?

Your worried about Clonazepam of all things that enter your mouth that cause damage. And sublingual means under tongue. You want those monster veins under your tongue to absorb the benzo. I would advise against doing it with xanax as it already has a fast onset and you'll spend hours trying to get the horrible taste to go away. Clonazepam on the other hand, will kick in faster and has a minty taste. And since it is being absorbed directly into the bloodstream it bypasses first pass metabolism. Shorter duration obviously but the way to go.
Yeah not a problem unless you're ingesting seriously large amounts. Where did you read that? A lot better for you than dip!

I've almost ALWAYS taken benzodiazepines sublingually, and though I don't have great teeth, I think I can attribute that more to poor dental hygiene and the fact that the last time I saw a dentist I was half the age I am now.
The one's that seem to work the best sublingually are Alprazolam and Clonazepam-though Lorazepam and Diazepam work alright too. With Clonazepam though, the difference between the time of onset when take sublingually rather than orally is like night and day. If I sublingual a Clonazepam I begin to feel it within five minutes. When I swallow it, the onset is so slow and gradual I barely notice it. Alprazolam also works great sublingual, I've found though that people either love or hate the taste. I personally like it, but even if I didn't, the sticks dissolve so fast that I would put up with it even if I found it disgusting. After using suboxone sublingually for long periods of time, I feel that there aren't many pills that I can't take through this ROA.
You're assuming that all the clonazepam would be absorbed sublingually which does not happen. In fact the majority of it (along with other benzo's which are practically insoluble in water) ends up being swallowed and absorbed orally anyway, so the duration is not going to be shorter, or if it is, it would only be by a negligible amount.
