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?

Along with other reasons mentioned here, meth acts as a vasoconstrictor. That means the blood vessels constrict. The blood vessels feeding the teeth are affected as well, and those are pretty small (narrow) vessels. It doesn’t take much constriction for them to effectively close completely. No blood flow to your teeth means that the living roots will die.
