What exactly about meth ruins teeth?

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?

“Meth mouth” tooth decay is likely caused by a combination of drug-induced psychological and physiological changes resulting in dry mouth and long periods of poor oral hygiene. Methamphetamine itself is also acidic.

Basically, you’re so wacked out of your mind that you don’t notice your mouth falling apart.
