Well I have to tell u I started in February on subutex I went to the dentist in January I had a full exam and cleaning no cavities at all I went back for my routine check up and I am about to lose all of my bottom teeth they asked me have I started any medication because the amount of rock which let me tell you you cannot see my teeth of just begun to break and become brittle the damage is in between the teeth the cavities are so deep my teeth are still white so it is to the naked eye you cannot see that they are rotting away the dentist told me that not brushing
For years drinking soda eating candy leaving pure sugar on your teeth would not do such damage as whatever medication I have recently started in the last year has done to my teeth I was embarrassed to tell her when I told her what it was that I had started she said that is what it is I came in in the next day they were hoping to fix one of the broken teeth I saw a different dentist who told me the same thing I went the very next day to the clinic and told my counselor what had happened and was in tears and said to her nor u or the dr told me that this was one of the side effects I would of rather gone to detox and been in rehab under a drs care and suffered a little under a dr supervision that cared to tell me what I was going to go through the. Be lied to and toothless they told me there was no saving my teeth at all it would cost me over 30k to get implants I feel that this company should have to pay my dental bills there is no warning that u may loss teeth do to use of this product and they sure don’t tell u anything during intake at the clinics. And when I told her I saw her face she knew I wasn’t the first person to tell her this and she made a comment like well I’m not a dr so I can play dumb the sick thing is I wasn’t on drugs like that to even be on subutex I should of been referred to a detox center. This drug is really designed to be used for 10days max and for heavy drug users not pill poppers whether u know it or not I have done so much research afterwards that I wish I would of done beforehand and if I would of gone to my dr that was writing them my pain management dr that also wrote suboxen he wouldn’t of wrote me for them I wouldn’t of been a candidate for them granted this drug has saved me because the pills lead me to getting them off the street and the pills weren’t real and they had heroin and fentanyl in them which would make me a
Candidate but the clinic didn’t even know I didn’t even know until my drug test came back and they had already had been given me my Suboxone for weeks at that point. I was on 24 mg a day my teeth rotted so quick I got to 8 mg every 4 days as I had to wait with covid for a appointment with the surgeon and a broken tooth Tylenol ibuprofen it’s just not working the surgeon told me which is a great trick for everybody out there if you take three ibuprofen and one extra strength Tylenol it works the same as if you take a Percocet for pain well with a broken tooth and a exposed nerve it is just not working so I was forced to take my 24 mg of Suboxone in hopes that it would subside the pain well I have to tell you teeth that we’re not giving me A problem they are now broken and this is all within days this is how I found this post online because I went looking to see if anybody else was having teeth problems and if there’s any open lawsuits because I know that Suboxone filed for bankruptcy because there was a lot of people suing them I know that they filed back in December for bankruptcy and I know that in January the pill changed from a peachy color to white so I’m assuming that anything after February is a new business and there can be a new law suit brought so if everyone else is having these problems and it is after feb 2020 let’s figure out away to see what we can do cause obviously this drug is still on the market and still causing harm even though they changed it so we must have a suit if everyone else did!
I've been on these stupid things for 7 YEARS. No one ever told me these were meant for the short term. I've seen 2 different suboxone doctors, and they both told me that I am better off being on suboxone MY WHOLE LIFE if it means never going back to using drugs. LIKE WHAT! I have tried a few times on my own to get off with no success, yet! I take 24mg to most days. Some days I am able to take 8mg some 16. It does vary by the day for me.
I take the tablet form now though because about 2 years ago the film suboxone gave me these severe mouth ulcers! I am not one of those people who had "perfect" teeth, but I never had the issues I have now. I have to have another tooth pulled. I have had one pulled already. I have 2 cracked teeth in the back of my mouth. The front 2 teeth I have are black on the bottom so I cant smile. The sides of my top front teeth are turning brown in between. I don't even laugh anymore in front of people because it is so embarrassing.
I see someone a few pages back say it is our fault for sleeping with our mouths open, or having dry mouths and drinking sugary drinks? NO! You cannot speak for every single one of us. Each one of us needs to band together and fight the Suboxone companies AGAIN over this. We were never warned of the potential damage to our teeth. Not one of us thought before going on this medication we would look like we use METH. Or have to explain to our dentist that we do take care of our teeth PROPERLY and that it is a sublingual medication destroying our mouth. There has to be a way.
I can prove it. I didnt have a cavity until taking suboxone 10 years ago.
