If meth caused your teeth to fall out, so would MDMA, and half of America would be toothless.

This is like saying heroin causes homelessness, or everyone who tries crack will become addicted to it.

Meth mouth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Meth mouth" is an informal name for advanced tooth decay attributed to heavy methamphetamine use.[1] According to the American Dental Association, meth mouth "is probably caused by a combination of drug-induced psychological and physiological changes resulting in xerostomia (dry mouth), extended periods of poor oral hygiene, increased consumption of sugared soft drinks, and teeth clenching and grinding (bruxism)."[2][3]

"Meth mouth" characteristics include:

Bruxism (teeth clenching and grinding): Methamphetamine induces bruxism, leading to the wear and cracks of tooth enamel.
Oral hygiene neglect: Methamphetamine users often neglect oral hygiene.
Hyposalivation (dry mouth): A lack of saliva's natural protective effects directly leads to increased tooth decay, particularly at the gum line.
Some have contended that "meth mouth" is not due to methamphetamine being acidic or corrosive[4] but the Pennsylvania Dental Association maintains that "the acidic ingredients of methamphetamine can damage teeth."[5]. Meth mouth has been observed in people who abuse pharmaceutical grade methamphetamine as well. It is most likely due to common characteristics of heavy methamphetamine use.[6]

Despite the name "meth mouth", similarly accelerated tooth decay can be caused by the abuse of other stimulants with similar actions, such as amphetamines, cocaine and methylphenidate.

I'm ok, but my pilonidal scar seems to be irritated for some reason. I really hope it's not coming back again!!! :X Got plans to go hiking with my one friend tomorrow who I haven't seen in like a year. Hopefully it doesn't get worse. I don't think all the sitting I've been doing has helped much.

Meth isn't the only drug to cause what is described here; any stimulant can do that.
 
I just watched a thing on Insight in Vancouver (supervised IDU site). It's crazy...they have had over 1000 OD's there and no one has ever died
 
I'm also wondering that, and how half of americans are all on ecstasy. I must be missing something. lol
