Can cocaine make your teeth fall out ?

Not really: Coke is usually snorted so nose linings are destroyed-but if used orally with meth teeth can decay until they have to be extracted.

No: Neglect from being high, or not caring for your teeth can cause your teeth to fall out.

Cocaine & tooth loss: Cocaine cannot make your teeth fall out although it is acidic in nature, behavioral changes that go along with addiction are what leads to dental and health problems due to neglect.

Not directly but...: Cocaine does often cause involuntary tooth grinding or bruxism, which can deteriorate tooth enamel additionally, stimulants like cocaine, cause dehydration & dry mouth. Since saliva is an important mechanism in maintaining one's oral ph level, chronic stimulant abusers who do not hydrate sufficiently may experience demineralization of their teeth due to the ph of the tooth surface dropping too low.

Not directly: The constant use can cause self abuse with the lack of oral care and increase in habits that can lead to tooth loss.
