MDMA and the dreadded dentist!

Ok so iv been doing mdma now for just over 3 years and have seen my teeth getting worse and worse due to teeth grinding/gurning, 1st it was a little crack in my rear molar, then in Feb about 2 days after a roll, i was eating breakfast, i believe it was muesli, then i crunched on a nut and... *Ping* there goes half my tooth... needless to say i was very concerned and thought long and hard about giving up rolling for the sake of my health. i think as a result i am going to severely cut back on rolling to something like once or twice a year either way.

Anyone else encountered any problems similar to this and how do you cope with them?

same thing happened to me and many of my other veteran raver friends. having a desert dry mouth for 24 to 36 hours at a time over and over again takes its toll on your teeth. my dentist called me out on being a former meth smoker and ecstacy user, i cant lie to the guy obviously, he told me to use enamel strenthing rinse and paste twice everyday. one of my friends exploded, like into tiny dust shards, one of her mollars one night wen we were rolling, she just had a bloody hole with a tiny white circle with a black dot in the middle, her face swelled up huge, and the pain was severe she said, worst thing was she just started rolling and it was likje 8pm so she had to wait till the next morning to come down and go to the dentist. gotta take care of your body, drug use catches up to you one day, you can think u got away clean and then years later you wake up and boom your feeling the damage the drugs have done. happened to me.
 
Change your chewing gum frequently - dont go chomping on some rock hard lump of gum for the whole night or your just hurting your jaws more.

What I hate (dont know if anyone else gets it) but if your really hot from dancing and the gum sort of melts in your mouth? It turns into a very sticky goo that is really hard to get rid of?
 
yeah i've chewed gum so hard it starts separating and turns to dust in your mouth
 
rofl only time gum ahs disintegrated in my mouth was when i was stoned out of my mind
so im guessing that the weed gave my saliva a slightly acidic edge to it. if the weed did it it wouldnt be to hard to think that maybe the ecstasy would do it also.

for all we know when our body is produceing alot of serotonin that could be the cause of the acidic saliva but im not an expert so i wouldnt know

but ive never had gum disintegrate while im sober lol so i doubt its from chewing too hard
 
Last time I went to the dentist he told me I grind my teeth at night. I laughed and told him it was usually during the day or while I was awake in the 90s.

He didn't understand the joke.
 
Get really good quality gum, like trident layers. That stuff lasts for hours before getting hard.

I've destroyed one filling while rolling, but that filling has fallen apart before while eating. I've had it redone three times now. Since I've started liberally chewing gum while rolling, it hasn't happened again.

Or getting a pill stuck in your gum! Oh, or the time I swallowed my gum and then went to chomp down on the pill instead... Oh boy.
 
ive found that punching balloons or big rubber bands work for me. i always had a severe problem with clenching, and also, chewing on the sides of my mouth. but since i started chewing on the ballons, its seemed to have helped.
 
It is not a difficult task to find the best dentist in town. With the help of dentist advertising consultants one can find the advertisements and also find the complete details about the doctor in the internet. These doctors have taken technology in to their hands and have started to publish about their dental clinics which have become very helpful for the patients.

Find something to chew on. Gum, pacifiers, I use the plastic ends of lollipops as do most of the people in this city haha.

Before I figured that out I used my tongue. Learnt my lesson fast.

ha I do the exact same thing when I dont have anything to chew on my tongue gets really fucked up and full of holes if I dont have something to occupy my teeth
 
i havent seen anyone mention this so i will. i used to chew my pills so they hit me faster. and i usually wouldnt brush my teeth until midway through my roll at least. suffice to say that shit eats through your teeth eventually as ive had too many cavities to count since then. so if you do chew them, brush your teeth immediately after, and mouthwash throughout the night.

It's true, it really does reduce any grinding that may occur. I recommend powdered magnesium citrate that can be mixed in with liquids as it absorbs a lot better than magnesium in pill form.

That works. I typically just take one an hour before dropping and then another right when I drop. Seems to give me the shits the next day, but its worth it! :P
 
The first thing my dentist did the other day was randomley start opening and closing my jaw and putting her fingers on the joint, she was like hmm you have a creaky jaw what have you been doing? Just looked at her like erm wut? Shes never done it before every pretty strange lol
 
once i had to have a follow up appointment a week after i got my wisdom teeth out, while on an ecstasy comedown. it was funny, i was still getting semi jaw clenches and the dental assistant fucked up and made me bleed, and started apologizing. i was still sorta rolling so i just smiled and was like oh its ok.
 
a calcium magnesium combo pill would be best, as many as you can get.

if i get the slightest hint of jaw activity i start slammin the cal/mag supplements.

hate it, it ruins the roll cos i keep worrying im gonna damage my teeth or something.
i dont suffer too badly from jaw clenching tho

my usual rolling buddy gets TERRIBLE trouble with his jaw on alotta drugs.
the first time i gave him MDMA he scared me cos i had never seen a jaw do what his did that night. however i accidentally gave us 300mg over the course of about an hour, the first hour. lol

ive since invested in a scales.

theres definitely a strong connection with mgnesium tho.
hes been tested for deficiencies recently and hes badly deficient in both calcium and magnesium.
 
Magnesium cant be said enough. Without it I grind so bad that my jaw is sore for days.
I've known people who ground their teeth till they cracked or had crowns fall/break off, and its definitely not a pretty sight.

Just a word of advice, I generally tend to not eat for several hours before a roll, especially not a meal, and the magnesium has a bad tendency of upsetting my empty stomach by itself, so I find eating a few crackers, or a few plain tortilla chips really helps.
