I have to wonder if a big part of why they have changed this drug from sublingual tablets to sublingual strips wasn't because they discovered it was rotting people's teeth out. This is something they wouldn't cop to, as they would then be opening themselves up to litigation.
The sublingual tablets contained two sugars (lactose and mannitol), corn starch, and citric ACID.
Patients put these tablets under their tongue, let them dissolve, and then held the dissolved solution in their mouths (and against their teeth) for anywhere from 15 minutes to OVER AN HOUR, the time varies greatly from person to person, and they would do this every day, some twice a day.
Any of these four ingredients could destroy teeth when being held in the mouth for that long on a daily basis for an extended period, and I know one patient who, after taking Suboxone Tablets for two years, found out that he had 18 cavities. This is after a lifetime without ever having had a single cavity! He told me that his dentist had to go to great pains to fix his teeth, as most of the cavities extended below the gum line.
Just food for thought. I doubt my friends case is unique... teeth are teeth, and they simply weren't built to stand up to being bathed in a sugary, starchy, acidic solution for an extended period every single day.
