Is it possible to reverse the effects of meth mouth?

Yes: Methamphetamine users usually eat a lot of high sugar content foods to fuel their body as they burn off calories as a result of the drug's effect. This causes lots of severe tooth decay. The effects of the decay can be treated, but it requires restorative dental procedurs by a dentist and the effects will reoccur is the meth use continues.

Yes: You will need to visit the dentist and get your teeth restored. But, first, you must quit the meth habit and eating high sugared foods. Brush your teeth with a fluoridated toothpaste and rinse with a Fluoride rinse every night.

It Depends: How long did you use? How bad are your teeth. Most of those I have treated with meth mouth may be able to have their teeth repaired but must continue with constant viligence and careful daily brushing & flossing and still seem to get reccurance of decay at a quicker rate. It also depends on whether you are still using at all. Relapse is common and often the teeth can't be saved.

Consider : Having your dentist make custom fitted soft mouth guards for your upper & lower teeth that you can either place mi paste or Fluoride into the tray and wear for 15 - 30 minutes. This will saturate the teeth with protection for a more consistent and longer application time than brushing or rinsing with Fluoride would do. Consider www.Perioprotect.Com trays, fit well to also improve your gums.
