What is the connection between drug addiction and poor oral hygene?
Question by Honestly, now: What is the connection between drug addiction and poor oral hygene?
I’m looking for serious answers here. Why is it that addicts don’t brush their teeth? I’ve known plenty of addicts who start getting teeth pulled before age 25. I mean…I’ve dabbled in hard drugs but no matter how intoxicated I was, I still brushed my teeth! It doesn’t take that long, dammit! Put the frigging stem down and brush yer dang teeth once in a while! I just don’t get it. Any thoughts?
Pot dries up your saliva but potheads don’t seem to have a mouthful of rotting teeth. For whatever that’s worth.

As their addiction takes over their only thoughts are on getting their fix. Everything revolves around the next high. It’s all they seem to be able to think about. They show some really good specials on A&E and Explorer. Their was a special about crystal meth not too long ago and the pictures of “meth mouth” that they showed made me want to puke. Not only is it lack of hygeine but also their diet. When you don’t get the nutrients your body needs things deteriorate pretty quickly. Plus there’s the chemicals in the drugs they are taking that can take their toll on the teeth.

Not caring about hygiene.i heard meth makes your teeth rot because the chemicals in it dry up your saliva.
