I have been taking suboxone for 2 yrs.. in those 2 yrs my teeth have changed dramatically and not for the better. I have always wondered if the suboxone was the reason for my dental decline. In my opinion, suboxone should be held accountable. It's great to know I'm not alone in this matter.

You need to look into suing Andrew Kolodny, MD, he has been the one who helped get this on the market, peddled it to prisons, his own rehabs (which he profits greatly from) and forcing legitimate severe chronic pain patients onto it, along with the 'pain' and addiction doctors at Univ. of WA.

I was on sub for 5 yrs. it was so good for me that I would get high on it when I took it and it was just as bad as the pills. When they wouldn't give me anymore I had to stop this train wreck myself on started slicing very small prices of the strip monthly. Finally after one year I was down to taking such a small price you couldn't even see it. I just stopped taking it one day and it's been3 yes now. Never again with that. I have had to have all my teeth removed and I am lucky enough to be able to get implants but still nothing like the real thing. Hard lesson learned but I know a few people who weren't as lucky as me. RIP.

My teeth have completely fallen apart from suboxone. I need several Implants and everyday i feel like a freak with so many missing teeth and these stupid partial dentures that are causing me terrible pain and discomfort. We have got to get a class action suit going!!!! I can't afford 15,000.00 worth of Implants!!! And let me tell you once they start to go they just keep getting worse. I believe it eats the enamel right off. Worse than meth mouth!!!

My son was on suboxone. I took him to a duel psychiatrist. Two hundred dollars a pop to help him with his addiction! When he decided to stop suboxone- he went through a living hell!!! By the time it was over all his teeth were loose! Now-they are all rotting and black! I too believe this sh*t is poison! I feel guilty taking him and getting the suboxone! Now-he is off the pills and on booze! I so want to sue suboxone!!

My teeth are destroyed by this stupid medication. 39 and going to need dentures because I have severe gum issues and teeth just going to c**p. Something needs to be done. This company needs to pay for the pain they have caused. Methadone doesn't do this to your teeth.

I'm right there with you guys. I'm a 37 year old female that had my first 2 minor cavities 4 years ago. Then were repaired with the white capping by the dentist. He told me my feeling would be good for ten years. At the time I was treated at pain management for ripped nerves off the spin. After a year the Drs in Myrtle Beach SC took everyone off of the oxycodone and place them either on morphine or Dilaudid to my luck they both made me sick so I ended up taking Suboxone I took Suboxone for the last two and a half years of my life. Within 6 months to a year I noticed my teeth started feeling with cavities before I knew it on my white fillings we're gone and I had teeth that started to break and crumble and Decay till they were completely gone. It is absolutely horrible to have always been compliments you have such a beautiful smile to now being ashamed to smile at people from missing teeth since I have been on Suboxone I have four teeth that completely decayed to now there is only a gum and in addition I have five cavities before I'd begun subs I never new what a toothache felt like. I'm a single mother whom can not even think about the coast of fixing my teeth. Insurance doesn't cover dental. Just in case you may think it's due to sugar I intake very little I drink lots of water so it's not dry mouth either. I do not drink and I am a light smoker ive to be honest. If any of you hear anything about help with teeth due to this product please share with me. Thank you God bless you all I pray we all are able to receive help for our teeth. It's everyone I speak to that take it so it's not a mith or due to old drug usage because I never been down that rd.

Same here in myrtle beach they don't intend to take people off. Their legal drug dealers. Have you ever met a dealer to pass up money. I haven't. They took you then ruin your life from all angles.

So sad! I’m the same as everyone else here. I had a 14 MONTH problem abusing my prescribed medication. I was then put on Methadone (5years) then Suboxone (for 6 years). ELEVEN YEARS of my life on those medications!! I got off all medications with the help of Kratom for withdrawals (used for only a short period of time). I finally have my life back, a 4 year old little boy, I’m not depressed, I’m finally happy. Except.... my teeth are destroyed! They have all either chipped, decayed or have fallen out.

Sad when that was always my first compliment I’d hear meeting someone new, what a beautiful smile I had. I don’t remember the last time I smiled showing my teeth.

What are any of us going to do? This has taken over my life. I’m so embarrassed, I don’t even go to our local stores until it’s near closing time. Makes me very nervous to run into someone and have to speak. I have alienated myself from everyone except my family. They don’t even know how bad my teeth are. I never show my teeth when smiling. **I’m sure they all have noticed and speak behind my back.
