ABSTRACT
The use of methamphetamines is a significant public health concern not only in America but worldwide. The consequences of this drug's use are widespread, having major physiologic and psychological effects that are damaging to users' bodies and well-being. Meth use wreaks havoc on one's oral health, with the effects including demineralization of tooth surfaces, carious lesions, inflammation of the periodontium, and more. In addition to examining the neurotoxic effects that methamphetamines have on the brain, this article will discuss how dental professionals can approach treatment of individuals who are affected by this debilitating drug, utilizing a strategy that combines caries arrest with oral hygiene improvement and disease prevention. It will also review the use of various products to help establish a neutral oral pH and enhance enamel remineralization.
