But when you crash your body demands catch up on all the missing sleep and calories. I've had it before when I finally passed out (unintentionally, subconscious mind/body decided to 25th amendment my waking mind), I sat down for a second- boom out. After initial 20min of vital deep sleep, time to sleep walk to the kitchen and eat a half to three quarters of a pound of brown sugar. Would have eaten more, but that was all that was left. Found some lemonade mix powder, luckily only half cup or so of that left for me to sloppily eat. Finally woke up few hours later after nonstop dreams of desperately searching for food. Confused with sugar all over my face I drove to nearby relatives house and ate a bunch of their food. I think that was after my first time awake for eight days. I think I choked down nothing but a protein shake or two in that whole time. "To keep it healthy".. Fucking so stupid I was.
They teach you this around 3-5th grade with D.A.R.E. since they think that kids will be exposed to drugs and more than likely are right since kids that young have not sexually matured, unless the kid is abused.
I wish I had better coverage.. My teeth have fallen apart so bad.. I am 28 years old and almost 5 years clean now but my teeth are destroyed.. It really effects my confidence. I wish it was something I didn't get into..
I’ve seen friends who had a beautiful set of teeth and two years later almost entire mouth looked rotten. Like the Doc says it’s more from diet/ junk food, lack of nutrition on top of bad hygiene. It’s very sad because the person using is already depressed and they’re literally wasting away. Prayers for anyone struggling, try to be compassionate and pray for those struggling. 🙏🏻
@@hr-hq8ji yea simple for you and me. I never started it either. I guess different strokes for different folks. Wish I could slap sense into some people, sadly you can’t.
I destroyed mine by 21 just by soda and sugar addiction. Went through three months of non stop dental appointments. Never had so many needles stabbed in my mouth, I got pretty good at it. Like 6 months later I had a tooth get badly infect. My one side of my face swelled all the way up around my eye. Had to get it removed by a surgeon and I cried in agony when they stabbed the needle in the infected gum. Like an out of body experience it was so painful.
I ruined mine with too much sugar and poor dental hygiene too. I’ve had a ton of work, tons of large fillings and one crown for now. If I could turn back time I’d have taken so much better care of them 😞 now it’s gonna cost me a fortune for dental work.
@@milliem8051 Letting kids brush their own teeth and wipe their own butts without checking to make sure they're clean is a mistake most parents make. Underwear is easy enough to replace. Teeth much less so...
@@franny5295 I wish my parents had been more adamant about teeth brushing while I was growing up but they were very distant. Sure caused me an insane amount of pain and suffering. I didn’t start brushing my teeth in all reality until I was in my late teens and old enough to instill my own habits. It was already too late by then.
I’m glad you got off of that brotha I was buying what I thought was “ecstasy” but it was meth I was on it for 2 weeks straight when I came off of it man I cried like a bitch and was so suicidal I never felt so low in my life fuck that shit never again I lost 40 pounds of muscle and it took me 9 months to put it all back on. I’m good with my preworkout and weed.
Whether your teeth ends up like this depends on the purity of meth and how often you use it and which method you use to take it Edit: I don't condone using it though
Battery acid is simply sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is the #1 industrial chemical. It's used for almost everything. So I'm not surprised you find small amounts in street meth.
As a dental student, I have seen several cases of meth mouth and it's always so heartbreaking. Seeing young people as young as 26 with full upper and lower dentures is so sad.
Heartbreaking or annoying? Drug addicts (and smokers) are generally impulsive and stupid, knowing what they're getting into and doing it anyhow. Society wastes a lot of time coddling self-harmers and treating them as "victims," even when they rob for their habits.
My mouth looks like I have "meth mouth" but that isn't the reality. I've never touched an illegal drug in my life. I had to have a radical hysterectomy due to cancer, and throughout the entire recovery (including the time it took for my body to acclimate to menopause) I was sick what seemed like non-stop. I actually had a physician years later ask me if I was bulimic, but no. On top of years of abuse by my now ex husband and a deep, deep depression, I feel stuck. I managed to get my top teeth pulled, the next step was to do the bottom teeth (which need surgical removal), but the judge in our divorce terminated the insurance I had. As a single female with no dependents, I didn't qualify for Medicaid at that time. I finally found an oral surgeon and I was supposed to see him in March, but guess what..... yeah. The one thing I absolutely hate the most is all of the stigma I get from everybody. It doesn't matter one bit how much pain I am in, if I have an abscess, a clearly freshly-broken tooth (because they are literally just falling apart at this point), or anything. They all take one look and completely disregard me as a drug addict. I have been in more pain these last couple of months than I can even begin to explain.
I wish i could smile again, but I had a problem with stuff high in acids and sodas! Never drugs but still heartbreaking and my teeth issues are my biggest insecurities I have but I love you're videos!
I got out of juice addiction when I was young and now really only drink water. You have to force yourself to not drink it by not having it around you or not buying it , drink bottled or filtered water so there is no bad taste from tap. Lower acidic foods by eating high amount of meat and cooked greens. It’s okay to snack here and there but not all day and have acidic and sugary foods in moderation.
Ya man my brothers teeth are completely gone and gums rotten from smoking meth. Hes not on drugs now and is taking care of his 4 children well on his own but I really worry about him when his little girl grows up and may get embarrassed by him. He keeps wanting to get something done with them but he just doesnt have the time. I hope you can get through this and smile again
PreviDent toothpaste and Gel both have 1.1% of flouride. They help with tooth sensitivity, prevents enamel loss, and reduces white spot lesions. Works great for people with crown or bridge work and ideal for patients with high caries risk.
Straight up baking soda that's all you need if you wanna add a drop of peppermint or clove oil… You can… Tooth powders and natural food stores are really good… Florida is a toxin… And don't forget to give your gums love
I had terrible teeth all my life, every visit was more bad news. I got into drugs then my teeth disintegrated; i blamed myself, it was all drugs. I actually ended up getting diagnosed with dentinogenisis imperfecta type 2. I know drugs harmed my teeth but i have been told im going to lose them all. Im 29. My problems were mainly from genetics 😭
@@ticotens6850 did u not read the part where they said they were already prone to having bad teeth? The drugs didn't help at all, but genetic predisposition is very real lol
You had me until "I know drugs harmed my teeth but..." I come from a family where most of the people ended up on meth or crack by the time I became an adult. They didn't have the best teeth in the world prior to their addictions. Yet, usually you don't need all your teeth extracted unless you are doing drugs. I have relatives right now who need dentures and teeth extractions due to meth/crack.
@ oh you a dentist? my teeth were disintegrating before I took drugs, I got into drugs because I was abused by my step father and my family were all doing drugs or boozing, I was around drugs always. I have dentinogenisis imperfecta type 2, that means the dentin didn't form correctly, with over large pulp chambers with cervical constriction, that causes the enamel to wear off and the teeth break, not only that but they also wear down into the gum line. I DID ask go what extent did drugs damage my teeth, I was told by 2 dentists yes, drugs didn't help, but the vast majority of the damage was because of genetics, IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN SOONER OR LATER. Well, I guess you, a fud off RUclips knows better than a dentist. Drugs may be a choice but your WAAAY more likely to develop problems if your immersed in the drug culture as a child, in other words, unvoluntarily immersed seeing as kids can't just leave. You know what else is a choice, being a t!t, maybe you should just quit being one
I’ve never taken drugs in my entire life, just had a bad accident by falling into wooden stairs and abusive parents that didn’t care and anytime I’ve gone to a dentist they just treated me like I was some kind of addict. First time I ever went when I was 16 and that’s because the dentist threatened to sue for neglect. Went to a few appointments, then finally went back when I was 18 to see what I could do for myself since I was on my own. $30k+ made me never go again and now 90% of my teeth are ripped out by yours truly with a screwdriver and a steak knife. Worst pain I’ve ever imagined and I go through it every single day. 32yrs down, whoever knows how many is left
I just wanted to add that you can get severe acid erosion from drinking coffee, especially with cream and sugar all the time. I used to work at Starbucks and I was always drinking coffee not thinking about it being acidic, I just kept drinking it to get through shifts. I’ve been told by two dentists now that my enamel is very thin for my age and I get so down about it. Also, I was taking antidepressants which cause dry mouth and I had a Vit D deficiency, all of these things together compounded the tooth erosion.
If you are getting dry mouth from talk to your doctor or dentist. They can prescribe you a high fluoride toothpaste that helps protect the enamel breakdown. Have them write you a script and don’t get it through the dentist office. Pick it up at the pharmacy. Usually insurance or goodrx will cover most of it. I think I pay $3 or $4 bucks a tube with is price for toothpaste but way cheaper then crowns or implants. I take an oral medication and that in comb with another medication that gives me dry mouth it has done a number on my teeth, particularly the bottom back front where the medication has to sit for a few seconds, but since I started using the toothpaste everyday the enamel wear virtually stopped.
Psa from a dentist lol really want to become a dentist but these horror stories you have about people mistreating their teeth so bad have put me off.. respect the work you do and admire the passion and time you take to make these videos. Thank you!
I'm going on a limb here, but I think you will find that "mistreatment" in many professions dealing with people. But even if a high percentage of patients don't take care of themselves or take it for granted, think of how many do appreciate it - how many lives are changed. Besides, people abusing their teeth is JOB SECURITY lol!
@@jenniferbaggett5775 job security, health and dental benefits would be awesome. And I just got a tooth pulled last week and I feel incredible. Going in for a checkup today and couldn't be more grateful for my dentist. "A happy mouth is a happy life" -Dr. Joseph Nemeth 🙌🏽
I am applying to dental school in a few months and have been a dental assistant for the past two years almost. I have never seen anything that resembles this, but in the beginning it can seem weird. But now, I can see almost anything and not be put off... you see it as a patient that needs help or an interesting case. IMO its better than smelling gastric juice while a general surgeon, cutting off warts as a podiatrist, etc etc. If you want to be any kind of doctor, you will be dealing with people's health problems which can oftentimes resemble what's outside the norm
@@rishisolanki783 great point! That's why the closest I'll ever get to medicine is cannabis. And that's pushing it a bit to be called medicinal work. Great alternative to opiates and alcohol and any psychiatric drug out there. Don't have to deal with heavily saturated health issues but can still help people in my own way. Or hope to, at least. Good luck with your degree!
I had really nice teeth as a teen and ruined them with purging (stomach acid) and a 10 year period of excessive ecstasy, cocaine, and heroin use. Along with smoking a pack of cigs a day. I have six of my molars that had to be pulled because I couldn't afford to get crowns. Now that I am sober and I have a real job with real insurance I'm able to go to the dentist I just had three crowns (several root canals) and about 6 fillings done. I don't do drugs or smoke cigs anymore. We do recover. The emotional and physical damage of even only a few years of drug use can take way longer to fix compared to how long your actual habit was.
I’ve got bad teeth from a terrible past with addiction… but my teeth wouldn’t have gotten so bad if since I was 21 and seeing a dentist after 5 years of drug use, I was literally shamed for the state of my teeth. I’ve always since then been too embarrassed. I know it’s oxymoronic and contradictory. I’ve gone to several other dentists that actually ended up doing really shotty jobs on my fillings that came out within a year that I felt I wasted my money on… I also don’t have the money to get them fixed. But I do have insurance now and my 2022 goal is to see a dentist and get these all fixed soon. Im only 37 and have 4 missing molars. One on each side. It’s so embarrassing and depressing. Im just glad my smile area isn’t affected. Just my molars.
This. Very much this. I'm in the situation I'm currently in due to neglect on my part and the part of my parents but too many dentists were just absolute shitheads, both in my childhood and my adult life. Between shitty attitudes and shitty workmanship (possibly because they just didn't give a shit about my predicament) I've never gone to the dentist in my adult life until I have no choice in the matter. I'm hoping I can get something done about my teeth next year but I literally feel like I've been waiting my entire to get half/all my teeth removed and get some form of dentures.
this needs to be called something else because not everyone who has teeth like that is meth addicts. I should know because my teeth are like that and I've never touched meth nor any other hard-core drug. Weed yeah briefly but not meth. My teeth were fine until I got pregnant with my first child then they started breaking apart and never stopped. I brushed and flossed daily too. So calling all teeth like this meth mouth is insulting for those of us who have teeth like that.
As a chemist, attributing this to acids didn’t sound right. Many (most) common drain cleaners are strong bases, not acids. Lantern fuel isn’t an acid. Anti-freeze is also a base. But I DID find one reference to it being caused by acid and since it says exactly what you said, you either wrote it or read it. Most explanations are centered around poor hygiene in meth users, particularly oral hygiene, and that meth users eat lots of sweets and sweet beverages. (And acids are produced when the sugars are broken down.)
Please stay away from drugs people. I have seen what it did to 2 of my older half siblings. They have no life, they have no teeth and they're children despise them. My poor mom went through so much stress because of them and I feel that it caused her death at an early age.
I have been on depression meds since I was 11 years old (I'm 46 right now) and I have suffered from chronic dry mouth because of it. my teeth look just like this but you didn't mention that dry mouth can make your teeth look like this too. what is the difference?
Yes dry mouth I believe is just as bad that's what I have from medicine that keeps my mouth dry. My teeth break off and I have had to have many extracted. I'm now considering implants or dentures as the dentist said it's time to remove them all and I'm 48!
@@vapeking466 I asked my dentist about dentures as there is no way I can afford implants but he is trying to have me keep as many of my own teeth as possible. In the last 6 months I've had fillings, 3 root canals, 1 bridge, and 4 extractions. I want to warn any kids on depression meds to drink water CONSTANTLY!!!
@@mikec5400 I can't afford the root canals. They are covered by medicaid. However, medicaid won't cover the crowns that are required for the root canals nor will medicaid cover implants
Ok I was watching intervention and this girl cristy was doing meth for 10 years since 14 but was also drinking vodka a lit could it be the alcohol cleaned her teeth so she didnt have any decay I mean her teeth were perfect its crazy
I have pretty much the same effect without the meth I have kept a very acidic diet eating tomatoes like apples extreme amounts of lemonade and soda cooped with poor teeth maintenance and had destroyed a lot of my teeth by my late teens also smoke cigarettes
Doctor, my teeth are at least this bad bc of soda pop/minimal care/alcoholism. I am 29. I too reside in southeast Michigan. In the last few days, the floor of my mouth has swelled, and the last few teeth I have that aren't stumps are abscessed and very infected/causing great pain. I have lost my ability to chew food. I may need to be admitted to an e.r. tomorrow, and regardless, hopefully have oral surgery in the coming weeks. I'm truly thankful for your professionalism pertaining to these matters.
My husband’s mouth looks exactly like that . He doesn’t drink , smoke cigarettes or do any drugs not anything . But he eats sugar all day alllll day . I started eating too much sugar last month because of birthdays and all of a sudden developed thrush in the mouth . I have no other predispositions . Just weird . Great videos !
@tiana rsn tooth decay begins on the inside not the outside of the tooth therefore he would need to change his diet to change the health of his teeth. I feel bad for this lady that her husband treats himself this way. I would be completely disgusted and mortified. I personally just couldn't be married to someone who doesn't take care of themselves. Also, sounds like an addiction. Maybe he needs help for it
I started smoking at 12 and changed over to dipping Copenhagen long cut when I was in the Infantry (did it for about 4 years). I lived hard… I stopped tobacco at 27 (after medically retired from being blown up and shot), and got nicotine free at 30 (11 years ago). I have a lot of fillings, and just recently had to have two bottom right rear ones removed. I have great oral hygiene now, and will have implants here in the next couple months… I didn’t think about the damage I was doing to my teeth back then whatsoever. Life is wasted on the youth.
My fist paragraph implied that time had passed since I started smoking and when I was in the Army. To help… I started smoking at twelve, and enlisted at eighteen.
Mariah Carey's older sister Alison Carey from Long Island, New York whom I've done so much information on for a little more than 10 years now since late, 2010 she started losing her teeth from drug use in August 2016 I believe, but I don't think meth was one of them. Now in a more recent photo of Alison from August 2020, all of her teeth are missing and she is in serious need of a full set of dental implants.
I have several autoimmune conditions, one being Sjogren's. Before I was finally diagnosed with Sjogren's (by a very smart and compassionate dentist), I had been accused by previous dentists of being a meth user.
@@Wondorawoman There are a LOT of issues that go along with Sjogren's. It can be primary, or secondary to another condition, such as Lupus. Here is a good article about this issue of tooth decay & Sjogren's: info.sjogrens.org/conquering-sjogrens/topic/tooth-decay That website has tons of great information about living with Sjogren's. Another thing that people don't understand, is that even when someone with Sjogren's can afford frequent dental care, it is very common for dental work to "fail". Literally all of the "restoration" work I had done (back when I had dental insurance) ended up failing in one way or another, especially crowns.
I have the EXACT SAME ISSUE! I have a few auto immune diseases and I unfortunately had hypermesis and threw up my entire pregnancy as well I had gorgeous teeth before my pregnancy and after my front teeth from getting sick every day all day for 9 months they were destroyed by stomach acid and were already weakened due to my health issues. Its destroyed my confidence my self worth made my social anxiety so unbearable I have panic attacks whenever I leave the house . Covid actually helped with that bc wearing a mask im able to walk around and hide it and feel normal. 😔 il be 31 April 20th.. terrified to make my appointment with dentist to assess the situation and see what they can do but not only do I need to do it for myself for several reasons but my daughter will be 4 in September and my worst fear is that she will soon be bullied bc of her moms teeth .
@@cassandrahughes2897 I am so sorry to hear that you are also experiencing these issues! Yes, the whole issue with COVID and masks, has made it easier for those of us with major tooth loss, to be able to hide our issues. I completely understand about the self-esteem issues. It's not a huge issue for me, in terms of frequency of embarrassment, because the whole "social distancing" thing has pretty much been a way of life for me for over 20 years, due to living with so many chronic illnesses. But I do find myself feeling "grateful" for masks, on the rare occasion when I do actually interact with other people. You are in my prayers!
@@MissAstorDancer My teeth discoloration and decaying, periodontal disease could also stem from taking Adderall for ADHD. It is an amphetamine. Plus I think I inherited Vit D deficiency from my mom.
this is fascinating and quite sad for the person struggling with addiction. My dad was a periodontist and would show surgical slides like these in his school oral health lectures to scare kids from neglecting their teeth.
"... struggling with addiction..." is a tiresome excuse. Addicts are just dumb and/or impulsive. They can't handle real life. Face personal traumas head-on to actually thrive.
@@DefundTheFringesvery narrow minded opinion, while I agree that can be the case to chalk it all up to just that is just textbook ignorance and wanting to kick people while they are down. I have had the unfortunate veteran experience of being heavily surrounded and grown up in an environment all my life around so many different addicts, some are immensely hopeless and a waste of everyone’s time and energy though these people in my experience are not as common as you’d think. Most addicts are actually relatively able to function and work ect because they have enough brain cells to understand money helps pay to keep a constant flow of your addiction going. Yes addiction almost always stems from not being able to cope with current life or past trauma/both but the way you worded that is disgraceful, some people have been through absolute hell that you couldn’t even imagine and who’s to say it’s wrong of them to use these substances if it makes an otherwise unbearable life bearable for that individual as long as they are not causing any harm to others. Lots of scum bottom feeders use drugs but a lot of ex veterans who fought for your freedom and right to make a comment like this also take them because their quality of life otherwise is a self inflicted bullet to the head, don’t be an ignorant nonce and judge people you know nothing about because they are struggling with substance abuse issues.
Hey Dr. Nemeth! Do you know of any resources for someone without much financial security to talk to a dentist or someone who can maybe help with questions about dental issues? I have some problems and im unsure what to do and dont really have anyone to ask. I have a dentist appointment but thats not for another month and I need some help before then.
So stopping addiction immediately is like stopping breathing immediately. It takes time and this dentist say stop now. Right. I used to be on opioids and in the throws of it if you asked me to just stop that would have never happened. If this dude wants to know what its like he should stop helping people immediately, still have patients and do nothing at all but still charge them. That's addiction.
Not battery acid and drain cleaner is not actually in the meth, the battery part is using the lithium strips, the drain cleaner part is rooto is mixed with uniodized salt which makes a gas (I won't give too many details) in the final process, 2 common misconceptions about meth, yes it's bad either way but it's like a 50/50 thing, the meth and people just stop taking care of themselves
It’s not just smoking it that destroys your teeth. I was a meth addict from the age of 17 until I was 25 when I finally got clean. I never smoked it just snorted. Now I’m 42 and living with full dentures top and bottom. So many years of unbearable toothaches and dental procedures and they finally had to pull the whole works. What a horrible drug.
make sure that person was on meth before disgracen their souls so they don't come back from a video and sue you for discrimination, just looking out for yall & some people is by family genes, bad health and of depression, pills what dr.s subscribe to people etc positive vibes everyone let God heal us all
I’m 15 never done any drugs obv or anything my of my teeth in the front babe huge decay I think it’s cuz I drink a lot of soda but u never smile I hate my mouth I’m scared to tel my mom if anyone could relate please tel me
Wow, this is so horrible. I feel even more sympathy for those with meth addiction since not only are they addicted to a terrible drug, most can’t afford dental care. Be well ✌️🌷☀️
@@hr-hq8ji How do you know? There are far more people who don't use illicit narcs who can't get their teeth healthy and cosmetically corrected. What is with simple-minded, ignorant goddamn people on social media? YDKWTFYTB.
I did meth for 15 years and never lost a single tooth from it. The problem is that most meth users stop brushing and taking care of their teeth all together, it's more so that than the actual meth causing the problems.
Not meth user. Lost tooth due to bone erosion. Had tooth removed. [I could have done it myself it was so loose.] Had bone graft. Had post implanted. Had crown placed. Two years later lose graft to bone loss. Think hard about what you want.
My aunt and uncle are dentists and let me tell you every time I go to see them they have crazy stories to tell. My uncle told me about a man who had meth mouth and it was so bad every tooth had to be removed. They help me keep up with my cleaning so I don’t end up with a meth mouth 💀
This is happening to my teeth and I've never smoked meth in my damn life. My parents both have bad teeth don't know about their parents but my mom didn't smoke cigarettes or anything. So explain that? This isn't always caused by meth but of course I have this shit said to me.
Dr.Joseph Nemeth I have a question,I suffer from periodontitis & luckily i haven't experienced any lose teeth & also suffer from plaque n tartar build up on my front bottom four teeth So I wanna ask you for my condition What type of dentist will you recommend me for periodontitis disease?
Check with a dentist you like, often times they will refer you to a specialist if it is something unique. but oftentimes it's solved with a cleaning without need of referral and a little self care like flossing, but the dentist or hygienist would know best for you specific case.
Bullshit! I've witnessed teens young adults who didn't smoke meth but never brushed their teeth nor saw a dentist regularly and all of the teerh turned black and were falling out by age 21 really sad to not educate the public and focus on drug addiction. The ones that don't watch their diet, don't brush correctly, dont go for dental cleanings, dont floss, don't drink water, only soda or beer, that right there creates deterioration to more than the teeth, it damages the jaw bone, specially in diabetics this video is focusing on something that won't help prevent deterioration for those who don't smoke meth, keep it up and watch what will happen to your mouth, ofcourse if you don't smoke meth YOU GOT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT ....right
My cousin passed away from bad teeth decay. Abscess went to her brain dr said. He tried to remove it surgically but she passed sadly. Oral health is very important to overall health! (She did drugs but I'm not sure meth btw)
This is why the Medicaid and Medicare programs and all types of insurance should include much better dental coverage and that the dentists and surgeons should not be allowed to charge as much as they do for anything dental! Its outrageous how much that stuff costs! Your teeth and their health are a very important topic cause it doesn't just affect u physically but mentally and any other kind of way possible!!
@@leilaniwilkey5583 I totally agree with you! And I think a dr should actually be able to remove your teeth as well if needed or emergency! Because idk about anywhere else but here we have literally just a handful of dentist only! And it’s so full to get in you have to wait. I’m on a list to April I broke a tooth in the back. And I’m literally waiting til April no one will see me. And that’s cash payment cause I have no dental insurance. It’s absolutely ridiculous and needs to be fixed!
My teeth look similar and I never did meth. I brush and floss every day. Just two days a go I bit down and my canine literally sheared off !! I’ve also woke up to powdered teeth in my mouth. I had problems with dry mouth mal occlusion, all my life only recently found out my saliva glands never worked right and don’t produce amalace period. I hate going to dentist cuz I worry they will assume I’m a drug addict
Dentist shouldn't judge at all.People go there to get their confidence back if the dentist or his staff are judgemental this isn't the job for them.Thos could prevent people from going and their teeth just getting worse.
Lmfao u think the dentist really gives a **** about what you do on your free time lol he just wants a patient so that he can make money. You should reevaluate your priorities and thinking.
Swish with baking soda ( sodium bicarbonate) after each hit . Very cheap way to neutralize acid . Then again , a meth head probably wouldn't know that or do it if they did .
@ Hmmm... O.K. I was just kidding. On crack and meth for 40 years . Crack was common in 1981 ? I've been shooting heroin in my eyeballs for decades . Maybe I've been missing out .😁
I've never done meth but I've been accused of "meth mouth" I've had 7 children and drink tons of sugary drinks throughout my life sadly. No dentist will help me either so I'm in constant pain with non stop tooth infections.
You may want to look into getting the LANAP treatment. This procedure is painless and is much more effective than scalings at removing bacteria.

Hey! I’m currently going to go to get my teeth checked out on Friday. I fear getting a teeth pulled out or getting a filling because they hurt so much. Usually one anesthetic shit doesn’t do the job😕. Any help?
i've had anesthetic wear off during the operation, and yes, it hurt a lot when that happened, but it's good to experience physical pain every now and then to prepare you for your death, which will probably hurt like crazy
Doctor I have a question for you. I vape and drink 3 diet energy drinks a day. I floss, use mouth wash, and brush twice a day. Is this enough to protect my teeth against this
Even in non smoking users I’ve seen absolute destruction of their mouth. The grinding wears down teeth at an all time rate and like he said the dry mouth contributes to even more rapid decay because germs are being washed away like the mouth naturally does when a person isn’t under the influence of methamphetamine. I’ve been clean for a year now and I’m still dealing with mouth pain and habitual tooth grinding from using so much over the course of five years of off and on use.
Ooof. It really is bad, also the dry mouth is awful and destroys the teeth and gums as well. My meth use caused that as well as so much grinding of the teeth that I didn’t notice much at all. My jaw was already messed up from grinding, it clicks and my smile is crooked. I’m lucky I have my teeth.
Okay so I've got the battery acid the drain cleaner the lantern fuel and the antifreeze in a pan cooking, they've finished reacting, and I boiled it down to goop. Did I do it right? Now I just gotta try smoking it
Hey doc I suffer from severe periodontal disease, I went to a local periodontist and they suggested laser surgery. What’s your opinion on laser sugary? I can’t fine enough reviews on it to go through with it. I got osseous surgery on a quarter of my mouth but I’m scared to do the rest because of it how it looks. I have big gaps and my teeth look long, so I’m in a rut right now. Any suggestions?

Teeth are easy to fix, you have to have the patient clean for at least several years before wasting good work on someone who won’t fix themselves.
Not easy enough for a nervous dental patient like me🚨
Not gonna lie...I actually paused this video to get up and brush my teeth!
Meth users definitely don't "get the munchies". They barley eat at all lol.
But when you crash your body demands catch up on all the missing sleep and calories. I've had it before when I finally passed out (unintentionally, subconscious mind/body decided to 25th amendment my waking mind), I sat down for a second- boom out. After initial 20min of vital deep sleep, time to sleep walk to the kitchen and eat a half to three quarters of a pound of brown sugar. Would have eaten more, but that was all that was left. Found some lemonade mix powder, luckily only half cup or so of that left for me to sloppily eat. Finally woke up few hours later after nonstop dreams of desperately searching for food. Confused with sugar all over my face I drove to nearby relatives house and ate a bunch of their food.
I think that was after my first time awake for eight days. I think I choked down nothing but a protein shake or two in that whole time. "To keep it healthy".. Fucking so stupid I was.

I’ve seen friends who had a beautiful set of teeth and two years later almost entire mouth looked rotten. Like the Doc says it’s more from diet/ junk food, lack of nutrition on top of bad hygiene. It’s very sad because the person using is already depressed and they’re literally wasting away. Prayers for anyone struggling, try to be compassionate and pray for those struggling. 🙏🏻
Don’t start it and you won’t have an addiction. I’ve suffered and got help . Didn’t do meth. And I have all my teeth. Go figure
@@hr-hq8ji yea simple for you and me. I never started it either. I guess different strokes for different folks. Wish I could slap sense into some people, sadly you can’t.
I destroyed mine by 21 just by soda and sugar addiction. Went through three months of non stop dental appointments. Never had so many needles stabbed in my mouth, I got pretty good at it. Like 6 months later I had a tooth get badly infect. My one side of my face swelled all the way up around my eye. Had to get it removed by a surgeon and I cried in agony when they stabbed the needle in the infected gum. Like an out of body experience it was so painful.
Shit
I ruined mine with too much sugar and poor dental hygiene too. I’ve had a ton of work, tons of large fillings and one crown for now. If I could turn back time I’d have taken so much better care of them 😞 now it’s gonna cost me a fortune for dental work.

WOW. Battery acid???? That's nuts.
I couldn't believe the list of things that are used to make meth.
Whether your teeth ends up like this depends on the purity of meth and how often you use it and which method you use to take it
Edit: I don't condone using it though
Ya
Battery acid is simply sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is the #1 industrial chemical. It's used for almost everything. So I'm not surprised you find small amounts in street meth.
Only the best ingredients 🤤🤤🤤🤤
As a dental student, I have seen several cases of meth mouth and it's always so heartbreaking. Seeing young people as young as 26 with full upper and lower dentures is so sad.
Youngest I saw was 20 years old… imagine the boneless this pt will have at 60.
@@LordLoMR2 could they get implants to support dentures and prevent bone loss?
At least they can afford them, not saying I disagree with what you’re saying.

Heartbreaking or annoying? Drug addicts (and smokers) are generally impulsive and stupid, knowing what they're getting into and doing it anyhow. Society wastes a lot of time coddling self-harmers and treating them as "victims," even when they rob for their habits.

I like that he talks about Meth is a very calm not overly judgmental way, more like he has genuine concern.
Not to mention the jaw clenching and teeth grinding that really is done unnoticed and is almost impossible to stop.
Don’t do meth. Problem solved
My mouth looks like I have "meth mouth" but that isn't the reality. I've never touched an illegal drug in my life. I had to have a radical hysterectomy due to cancer, and throughout the entire recovery (including the time it took for my body to acclimate to menopause) I was sick what seemed like non-stop. I actually had a physician years later ask me if I was bulimic, but no. On top of years of abuse by my now ex husband and a deep, deep depression, I feel stuck. I managed to get my top teeth pulled, the next step was to do the bottom teeth (which need surgical removal), but the judge in our divorce terminated the insurance I had. As a single female with no dependents, I didn't qualify for Medicaid at that time. I finally found an oral surgeon and I was supposed to see him in March, but guess what..... yeah.
The one thing I absolutely hate the most is all of the stigma I get from everybody. It doesn't matter one bit how much pain I am in, if I have an abscess, a clearly freshly-broken tooth (because they are literally just falling apart at this point), or anything. They all take one look and completely disregard me as a drug addict. I have been in more pain these last couple of months than I can even begin to explain.

I got out of juice addiction when I was young and now really only drink water. You have to force yourself to not drink it by not having it around you or not buying it , drink bottled or filtered water so there is no bad taste from tap. Lower acidic foods by eating high amount of meat and cooked greens. It’s okay to snack here and there but not all day and have acidic and sugary foods in moderation.

Hes not on drugs now and is taking care of his 4 children well on his own but I really worry about him when his little girl grows up and may get embarrassed by him.

Sugar addiction and suboxone made mine look like this....no meth
I stopped all monster energy drinks completely. My teeth were going south. Luckily I bounced back.
I'm currently non Suboxone. How does it affect the teeth. Mine are already pretty bad.
Random question, can you possibly do a video on your recommendations of toothpaste for sensitivity and enamel?
Thats a great recommendation. We will add it to the list of future videos!
Elmex is overpowered it doesnt have anything to make them more white but it will clean them insanely well and that way make them more white
PreviDent toothpaste and Gel both have 1.1% of flouride. They help with tooth sensitivity, prevents enamel loss, and reduces white spot lesions. Works great for people with crown or bridge work and ideal for patients with high caries risk.
Sensodyne works great for me.
Straight up baking soda that's all you need if you wanna add a drop of peppermint or clove oil… You can… Tooth powders and natural food stores are really good… Florida is a toxin… And don't forget to give your gums love
I had terrible teeth all my life, every visit was more bad news. I got into drugs then my teeth disintegrated; i blamed myself, it was all drugs. I actually ended up getting diagnosed with dentinogenisis imperfecta type 2. I know drugs harmed my teeth but i have been told im going to lose them all. Im 29. My problems were mainly from genetics 😭
@@ticotens6850 did u not read the part where they said they were already prone to having bad teeth? The drugs didn't help at all, but genetic predisposition is very real lol
You had me until "I know drugs harmed my teeth but..." I come from a family where most of the people ended up on meth or crack by the time I became an adult. They didn't have the best teeth in the world prior to their addictions. Yet, usually you don't need all your teeth extracted unless you are doing drugs. I have relatives right now who need dentures and teeth extractions due to meth/crack.
@ oh you a dentist? my teeth were disintegrating before I took drugs, I got into drugs because I was abused by my step father and my family were all doing drugs or boozing, I was around drugs always. I have dentinogenisis imperfecta type 2, that means the dentin didn't form correctly, with over large pulp chambers with cervical constriction, that causes the enamel to wear off and the teeth break, not only that but they also wear down into the gum line. I DID ask go what extent did drugs damage my teeth, I was told by 2 dentists yes, drugs didn't help, but the vast majority of the damage was because of genetics, IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN SOONER OR LATER. Well, I guess you, a fud off RUclips knows better than a dentist. Drugs may be a choice but your WAAAY more likely to develop problems if your immersed in the drug culture as a child, in other words, unvoluntarily immersed seeing as kids can't just leave. You know what else is a choice, being a t!t, maybe you should just quit being one

Cool story bro
Reason 288381937283837829 to not do meth
I’ve never taken drugs in my entire life, just had a bad accident by falling into wooden stairs and abusive parents that didn’t care and anytime I’ve gone to a dentist they just treated me like I was some kind of addict. First time I ever went when I was 16 and that’s because the dentist threatened to sue for neglect. Went to a few appointments, then finally went back when I was 18 to see what I could do for myself since I was on my own. $30k+ made me never go again and now 90% of my teeth are ripped out by yours truly with a screwdriver and a steak knife. Worst pain I’ve ever imagined and I go through it every single day. 32yrs down, whoever knows how many is left
I like the fact that the video is called Meth Mouth and his name is literally Nemeth lmao
You fnny
I was waiting to see if someone was gonna mention that 🤣🤣🤣
I just wanted to add that you can get severe acid erosion from drinking coffee, especially with cream and sugar all the time. I used to work at Starbucks and I was always drinking coffee not thinking about it being acidic, I just kept drinking it to get through shifts. I’ve been told by two dentists now that my enamel is very thin for my age and I get so down about it. Also, I was taking antidepressants which cause dry mouth and I had a Vit D deficiency, all of these things together compounded the tooth erosion.
My teeth look like this from eating sour patch kids candy
@@Thkgcv3 don’t blame the candy blame you not brushing them mfs 🤣
Can certain medicine for ADHD or other physiology disorder cause similar effects?
Yes, anything that is a stimulant has similar dry mouth, tooth decay
That's what I was wondering too. Both my daughter and I take generic Adderall.
@@Wondorawoman I take adderall but it don’t do anything unless u get dry mouth from it
If you are getting dry mouth from talk to your doctor or dentist. They can prescribe you a high fluoride toothpaste that helps protect the enamel breakdown. Have them write you a script and don’t get it through the dentist office. Pick it up at the pharmacy. Usually insurance or goodrx will cover most of it. I think I pay $3 or $4 bucks a tube with is price for toothpaste but way cheaper then crowns or implants.
I take an oral medication and that in comb with another medication that gives me dry mouth it has done a number on my teeth, particularly the bottom back front where the medication has to sit for a few seconds, but since I started using the toothpaste everyday the enamel wear virtually stopped.
Psa from a dentist lol really want to become a dentist but these horror stories you have about people mistreating their teeth so bad have put me off.. respect the work you do and admire the passion and time you take to make these videos. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I'm going on a limb here, but I think you will find that "mistreatment" in many professions dealing with people. But even if a high percentage of patients don't take care of themselves or take it for granted, think of how many do appreciate it - how many lives are changed.
Besides, people abusing their teeth is JOB SECURITY lol!

I am applying to dental school in a few months and have been a dental assistant for the past two years almost. I have never seen anything that resembles this, but in the beginning it can seem weird. But now, I can see almost anything and not be put off... you see it as a patient that needs help or an interesting case. IMO its better than smelling gastric juice while a general surgeon, cutting off warts as a podiatrist, etc etc. If you want to be any kind of doctor, you will be dealing with people's health problems which can oftentimes resemble what's outside the norm

Good luck with your degree!
I had really nice teeth as a teen and ruined them with purging (stomach acid) and a 10 year period of excessive ecstasy, cocaine, and heroin use. Along with smoking a pack of cigs a day. I have six of my molars that had to be pulled because I couldn't afford to get crowns. Now that I am sober and I have a real job with real insurance I'm able to go to the dentist I just had three crowns (several root canals) and about 6 fillings done.
I don't do drugs or smoke cigs anymore. We do recover. The emotional and physical damage of even only a few years of drug use can take way longer to fix compared to how long your actual habit was.
I’ve got bad teeth from a terrible past with addiction… but my teeth wouldn’t have gotten so bad if since I was 21 and seeing a dentist after 5 years of drug use, I was literally shamed for the state of my teeth. I’ve always since then been too embarrassed. I know it’s oxymoronic and contradictory. I’ve gone to several other dentists that actually ended up doing really shotty jobs on my fillings that came out within a year that I felt I wasted my money on… I also don’t have the money to get them fixed. But I do have insurance now and my 2022 goal is to see a dentist and get these all fixed soon. Im only 37 and have 4 missing molars. One on each side. It’s so embarrassing and depressing. Im just glad my smile area isn’t affected. Just my molars.
Come to India it’s just 200 dollars for an implant and many people from USA come here
This. Very much this. I'm in the situation I'm currently in due to neglect on my part and the part of my parents but too many dentists were just absolute shitheads, both in my childhood and my adult life. Between shitty attitudes and shitty workmanship (possibly because they just didn't give a shit about my predicament) I've never gone to the dentist in my adult life until I have no choice in the matter. I'm hoping I can get something done about my teeth next year but I literally feel like I've been waiting my entire to get half/all my teeth removed and get some form of dentures.
You should be shamed . Gross nasty waste
What's the latest? Did you see a dentist 1yr later? 😎
Some people in these comments are awfully judgmental for people who have not a single clue.
I’m here for ya’ll. Positive vibes over here.
Thanks for this. I see "meth mouth" often and I've been wondering how it occurred and how quickly.
If all dentists were this non-judgmental, a lot of drug users and dental neglecters would probably be more willing to visit one.
this needs to be called something else because not everyone who has teeth like that is meth addicts. I should know because my teeth are like that and I've never touched meth nor any other hard-core drug. Weed yeah briefly but not meth.
My teeth were fine until I got pregnant with my first child then they started breaking apart and never stopped. I brushed and flossed daily too. So calling all teeth like this meth mouth is insulting for those of us who have teeth like that.
As a chemist, attributing this to acids didn’t sound right. Many (most) common drain cleaners are strong bases, not acids. Lantern fuel isn’t an acid. Anti-freeze is also a base. But I DID find one reference to it being caused by acid and since it says exactly what you said, you either wrote it or read it.
Most explanations are centered around poor hygiene in meth users, particularly oral hygiene, and that meth users eat lots of sweets and sweet beverages. (And acids are produced when the sugars are broken down.)
Please stay away from drugs people. I have seen what it did to 2 of my older half siblings. They have no life, they have no teeth and they're children despise them. My poor mom went through so much stress because of them and I feel that it caused her death at an early age.

I started smoking at 12 and changed over to dipping Copenhagen long cut when I was in the Infantry (did it for about 4 years). I lived hard… I stopped tobacco at 27 (after medically retired from being blown up and shot), and got nicotine free at 30 (11 years ago). I have a lot of fillings, and just recently had to have two bottom right rear ones removed.
I have great oral hygiene now, and will have implants here in the next couple months… I didn’t think about the damage I was doing to my teeth back then whatsoever. Life is wasted on the youth.

I have several autoimmune conditions, one being Sjogren's. Before I was finally diagnosed with Sjogren's (by a very smart and compassionate dentist), I had been accused by previous dentists of being a meth user.
I never realized tooth decay was a symptom of Sjogrens which is what my mom has. She also experiences the dry eyes and mouth.
@@Wondorawoman There are a LOT of issues that go along with Sjogren's.
It can be primary, or secondary to another condition, such as Lupus.
Here is a good article about this issue of tooth decay & Sjogren's:
info.sjogrens.org/conquering-sjogrens/topic/tooth-decay
That website has tons of great information about living with Sjogren's.
Another thing that people don't understand, is that even when someone with Sjogren's can afford frequent dental care, it is very common for dental work to "fail". Literally all of the "restoration" work I had done (back when I had dental insurance) ended up failing in one way or another, especially crowns.
I have the EXACT SAME ISSUE! I have a few auto immune diseases and I unfortunately had hypermesis and threw up my entire pregnancy as well I had gorgeous teeth before my pregnancy and after my front teeth from getting sick every day all day for 9 months they were destroyed by stomach acid and were already weakened due to my health issues. Its destroyed my confidence my self worth made my social anxiety so unbearable I have panic attacks whenever I leave the house . Covid actually helped with that bc wearing a mask im able to walk around and hide it and feel normal. 😔 il be 31 April 20th.. terrified to make my appointment with dentist to assess the situation and see what they can do but not only do I need to do it for myself for several reasons but my daughter will be 4 in September and my worst fear is that she will soon be bullied bc of her moms teeth .
@@cassandrahughes2897 I am so sorry to hear that you are also experiencing these issues!
Yes, the whole issue with COVID and masks, has made it easier for those of us with major tooth loss, to be able to hide our issues. I completely understand about the self-esteem issues.
It's not a huge issue for me, in terms of frequency of embarrassment, because the whole "social distancing" thing has pretty much been a way of life for me for over 20 years, due to living with so many chronic illnesses. But I do find myself feeling "grateful" for masks, on the rare occasion when I do actually interact with other people.
You are in my prayers!

"... struggling with addiction..." is a tiresome excuse. Addicts are just dumb and/or impulsive. They can't handle real life. Face personal traumas head-on to actually thrive.
@@DefundTheFringesvery narrow minded opinion, while I agree that can be the case to chalk it all up to just that is just textbook ignorance and wanting to kick people while they are down. I have had the unfortunate veteran experience of being heavily surrounded and grown up in an environment all my life around so many different addicts, some are immensely hopeless and a waste of everyone’s time and energy though these people in my experience are not as common as you’d think. Most addicts are actually relatively able to function and work ect because they have enough brain cells to understand money helps pay to keep a constant flow of your addiction going. Yes addiction almost always stems from not being able to cope with current life or past trauma/both but the way you worded that is disgraceful, some people have been through absolute hell that you couldn’t even imagine and who’s to say it’s wrong of them to use these substances if it makes an otherwise unbearable life bearable for that individual as long as they are not causing any harm to others. Lots of scum bottom feeders use drugs but a lot of ex veterans who fought for your freedom and right to make a comment like this also take them because their quality of life otherwise is a self inflicted bullet to the head, don’t be an ignorant nonce and judge people you know nothing about because they are struggling with substance abuse issues.
Hey Dr. Nemeth! Do you know of any resources for someone without much financial security to talk to a dentist or someone who can maybe help with questions about dental issues? I have some problems and im unsure what to do and dont really have anyone to ask. I have a dentist appointment but thats not for another month and I need some help before then.
So stopping addiction immediately is like stopping breathing immediately. It takes time and this dentist say stop now. Right. I used to be on opioids and in the throws of it if you asked me to just stop that would have never happened. If this dude wants to know what its like he should stop helping people immediately, still have patients and do nothing at all but still charge them. That's addiction.
I have a question I have been thinking of getting pinhole technique and wondering how much it costs and where you are located to get it done?
Not battery acid and drain cleaner is not actually in the meth, the battery part is using the lithium strips, the drain cleaner part is rooto is mixed with uniodized salt which makes a gas (I won't give too many details) in the final process, 2 common misconceptions about meth, yes it's bad either way but it's like a 50/50 thing, the meth and people just stop taking care of themselves
So nobody is talking about the fact that the super bowl 3 mvp is a freaking dentist now?! 😅😉
It’s not just smoking it that destroys your teeth. I was a meth addict from the age of 17 until I was 25 when I finally got clean. I never smoked it just snorted. Now I’m 42 and living with full dentures top and bottom. So many years of unbearable toothaches and dental procedures and they finally had to pull the whole works. What a horrible drug.

Yeah that's true, my friend like that
I’m 15 never done any drugs obv or anything my of my teeth in the front babe huge decay I think it’s cuz I drink a lot of soda but u never smile I hate my mouth I’m scared to tel my mom if anyone could relate please tel me
Wow, this is so horrible. I feel even more sympathy for those with meth addiction since not only are they addicted to a terrible drug, most can’t afford dental care. Be well ✌️🌷☀️
They could if they didn’t spend their money on meth
@@hr-hq8ji How do you know? There are far more people who don't use illicit narcs who can't get their teeth healthy and cosmetically corrected. What is with simple-minded, ignorant goddamn people on social media? YDKWTFYTB.
I never have taken meth but my Dr had me on Methadone and it ruined my teeth!
They should show this clip in Schools every Morning. Kids please don’t do drugs.
I did meth for 15 years and never lost a single tooth from it. The problem is that most meth users stop brushing and taking care of their teeth all together, it's more so that than the actual meth causing the problems.
Not meth user. Lost tooth due to bone erosion. Had tooth removed. [I could have done it myself it was so loose.] Had bone graft. Had post implanted. Had crown placed. Two years later lose graft to bone loss. Think hard about what you want.
My aunt and uncle are dentists and let me tell you every time I go to see them they have crazy stories to tell. My uncle told me about a man who had meth mouth and it was so bad every tooth had to be removed. They help me keep up with my cleaning so I don’t end up with a meth mouth 💀
buluima abusive relationships ruined my teeth
Hello sir, please tell us about the ongoing research on regrowing new teeth?
This is happening to my teeth and I've never smoked meth in my damn life. My parents both have bad teeth don't know about their parents but my mom didn't smoke cigarettes or anything. So explain that? This isn't always caused by meth but of course I have this shit said to me.
meth came in like a wrecking ball.
Diabetes can cause a very similar looking mouth over long periods...
Dr.Joseph Nemeth I have a question,I suffer from periodontitis & luckily i haven't experienced any lose teeth & also suffer from plaque n tartar build up on my front bottom four teeth So I wanna ask you for my condition What type of dentist will you recommend me for periodontitis disease?
Check with a dentist you like, often times they will refer you to a specialist if it is something unique. but oftentimes it's solved with a cleaning without need of referral and a little self care like flossing, but the dentist or hygienist would know best for you specific case.
Bullshit!
I've witnessed teens young adults who didn't smoke meth but never brushed their teeth nor saw a dentist regularly and all of the teerh turned black and were falling out by age 21 really sad to not educate the public and focus on drug addiction. The ones that don't watch their diet, don't brush correctly, dont go for dental cleanings, dont floss, don't drink water, only soda or beer, that right there creates deterioration to more than the teeth, it damages the jaw bone, specially in diabetics this video is focusing on something that won't help prevent deterioration for those who don't smoke meth, keep it up and watch what will happen to your mouth, ofcourse if you don't smoke meth YOU GOT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT ....right
My cousin passed away from bad teeth decay. Abscess went to her brain dr said. He tried to remove it surgically but she passed sadly. Oral health is very important to overall health! (She did drugs but I'm not sure meth btw)
So sorry to hear that :(
This is why the Medicaid and Medicare programs and all types of insurance should include much better dental coverage and that the dentists and surgeons should not be allowed to charge as much as they do for anything dental! Its outrageous how much that stuff costs! Your teeth and their health are a very important topic cause it doesn't just affect u physically but mentally and any other kind of way possible!!
@@leilaniwilkey5583 I totally agree with you! And I think a dr should actually be able to remove your teeth as well if needed or emergency! Because idk about anywhere else but here we have literally just a handful of dentist only! And it’s so full to get in you have to wait. I’m on a list to April I broke a tooth in the back. And I’m literally waiting til April no one will see me. And that’s cash payment cause I have no dental insurance. It’s absolutely ridiculous and needs to be fixed!
If this happens to the teeth, could these drugs cause issues with a persons bones within the body?
My teeth look similar and I never did meth. I brush and floss every day. Just two days a go I bit down and my canine literally sheared off !! I’ve also woke up to powdered teeth in my mouth. I had problems with dry mouth mal occlusion, all my life only recently found out my saliva glands never worked right and don’t produce amalace period. I hate going to dentist cuz I worry they will assume I’m a drug addict
That's unfortunate. I hope you can get the right healthcare, to fix your condition.
Dentist shouldn't judge at all.People go there to get their confidence back if the dentist or his staff are judgemental this isn't the job for them.Thos could prevent people from going and their teeth just getting worse.
Lmfao u think the dentist really gives a **** about what you do on your free time lol he just wants a patient so that he can make money. You should reevaluate your priorities and thinking.
Swish with baking soda ( sodium bicarbonate) after each hit . Very cheap way to neutralize acid . Then again , a meth head probably wouldn't know that or do it if they did .
@ Hmmm... O.K. I was just kidding. On crack and meth for 40 years . Crack was common in 1981 ? I've been shooting heroin in my eyeballs for decades . Maybe I've been missing out .😁
What a disaster meth use is. Awesomely clear explanation, Doctor.
I've never done meth but I've been accused of "meth mouth" I've had 7 children and drink tons of sugary drinks throughout my life sadly. No dentist will help me either so I'm in constant pain with non stop tooth infections.
What do you mean no dentist will help you? They will help you if you pay them.
How do you deal with gums that constantly produces pus in between the teeth and gums even after 3 scalings?
You may want to look into getting the LANAP treatment. This procedure is painless and is much more effective than scalings at removing bacteria. We offer this treatment here at our office, however you may be able to find someone close to you that offers the procedure. Check out this video if you want some more information.

I hope this helps!
Fun facts antifreeze (butylated hydroxytoluene) is also commonly found in potato chips
Hey! I’m currently going to go to get my teeth checked out on Friday. I fear getting a teeth pulled out or getting a filling because they hurt so much. Usually one anesthetic shit doesn’t do the job😕. Any help?
Brandon Sanchez just ask for more anaesthetic needles if you can still feel it
i've had anesthetic wear off during the operation, and yes, it hurt a lot when that happened, but it's good to experience physical pain every now and then to prepare you for your death, which will probably hurt like crazy
@@sleepyskorpion , death doesn’t hurt though. Do your research, you basically feel no pain
@@sleepyskorpion you sound so stupid are you actually serious? Public school at its finest ...
Always let your dentist know if you’re still hurting...they need to give you more!
Doctor I have a question for you. I vape and drink 3 diet energy drinks a day. I floss, use mouth wash, and brush twice a day. Is this enough to protect my teeth against this
Even in non smoking users I’ve seen absolute destruction of their mouth. The grinding wears down teeth at an all time rate and like he said the dry mouth contributes to even more rapid decay because germs are being washed away like the mouth naturally does when a person isn’t under the influence of methamphetamine. I’ve been clean for a year now and I’m still dealing with mouth pain and habitual tooth grinding from using so much over the course of five years of off and on use.
Ooof. It really is bad, also the dry mouth is awful and destroys the teeth and gums as well. My meth use caused that as well as so much grinding of the teeth that I didn’t notice much at all. My jaw was already messed up from grinding, it clicks and my smile is crooked. I’m lucky I have my teeth.
Wow! Seems like a sincerely compassionate person. 💟
What if your teeth rot but you never used drugs
Okay so I've got the battery acid the drain cleaner the lantern fuel and the antifreeze in a pan cooking, they've finished reacting, and I boiled it down to goop. Did I do it right? Now I just gotta try smoking it
Never even thought about doing meth but now I gotta stop eating lemons I want some healthy teeth
Thankyou for educating us!
Hey doc I suffer from severe periodontal disease, I went to a local periodontist and they suggested laser surgery. What’s your opinion on laser sugary? I can’t fine enough reviews on it to go through with it. I got osseous surgery on a quarter of my mouth but I’m scared to do the rest because of it how it looks. I have big gaps and my teeth look long, so I’m in a rut right now. Any suggestions?
Do the laser surgery if you still can!
Getting a full set of new teeth is like doing a fresh Microsoft Windows installation
Actually dentist's dream patient
And this happens if you smoke? 🤢
If you smoke meth
No not in germany i smoke meth about 4 or 5 years ago and spice Since 8 years i have all my teeths. Meth is not so bad Alcohol is much unhealthyer then meth
