Please explain how long does meth stay in your teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Incorrect Info: Meth does not reside in your teeth. Teeth get destroyed because of the habits associated with the meth lifestyle. Lots of sugary drinks, dry mouth, ineffective oral hygiene, teeth grinding and lack of dental care. This process destroys the teeth and supporting gums, causing devastating problems for people. Many times, these tooth related issues will haunt meth users for life!
