What exactly about meth ruins teeth?

Question

Is it just people on meth tend to neglect dental care and don’t floss/brush? Or is there actually a chemical in meth that causes your teeth to go bad?

Answer 1

Less saliva, usually very dry mouth. Lack of hygiene, rarely brushing or flossing. But mostly from a terrible diet, barely getting any nutrients for days at a time.
