How does methamphetamine rot your teeth? On Tyra Banks show said it rots teeth? or lack of drughead hygiene?

Question by Courageous Capt. Cat: How does methamphetamine rot your teeth? On Tyra Banks show said it rots teeth? or lack of drughead hygiene?
I know they said chemicals in cigarettes or nicotine affects filing in teeth and gums. and we all know these drug addict and drugheads don’t have the highest standards of personal hygeine or concern about their Health in general (why take illegal drugs in first place made with who knows with what chemicals and raid under the kitchen sink, really regulated for purity, like entertainment industry take, then bitch about the purity of foods at the grocery store and by organic foods LOL; organic foods OK, if you’re concerned about your health in general, bit of an oxymoron and amusing to find a consumer of illegal drugs concerned about their health and what they put in their body in general)

I believe meth (crystal meth?) is made from pseudoephedrine, of course decongestants don’t effect your teeth or enamel (maybe if smoked LOL, dumbarses), how chemically or mode does it rot or decay teeth? is that crack? i know with smokers and potheads lack of care for personal hygeine, what they are

Well if Tyra Banks said it it must be true. Just kidding, but it actually is true.

What it does is over time it reduces blood flow to the gums and reduces saliva production. Saliva protects teeth from plaque, helps to digest starch and neutralizes acids in your mouth.

Reduced hygiene among drug users is also a factor.
