Suboxone, a widely prescribed medication used to treat opioid addiction, is now facing legal scrutiny over its alleged link to severe dental problems. After using Suboxone sublingual strips, users have reported sudden tooth decay, cracking and even total tooth loss. In many cases, these issues have led to multiple extractions and overwhelming dental bills.

If you or a loved one suffered Suboxone tooth loss, you may qualify to file a lawsuit and pursue compensation for your injuries.

How does Suboxone damage teeth? 

Suboxone sublingual strips are placed under the tongue, where they dissolve slowly. This exposes teeth to a prolonged acidic environment, which can erode enamel and lead to cavities, infections, and eventually tooth loss. The high acidity, combined with reduced saliva flow and the sugar content of some formulations, creates ideal conditions for dental decay — even in people with good oral hygiene.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has acknowledged these risks, warning that even short-term use of Suboxone can cause severe dental issues. For some individuals, the damage is irreversible and requires extractions, crowns, implants or dentures.

Suboxone caused my teeth to fall out

Many former Suboxone users have come forward to share their painful experience with dental damage. Some describe sudden and severe tooth decay, while others report losing most — or all — of their teeth.

One long-time Suboxone user shared:

“I’m 45 years old, and I’ve got 24 teeth that have broken off even with the gums. I’ve been on Suboxone for over 12 years. I can’t afford to get my teeth fixed.”

Another user explained their history:

“I was on Suboxone for 7 years and my teeth were so shot by the time I weaned myself off that EVERY one had to be pulled. I have zero teeth in my mouth and my teeth were nice before using the drug. I was never warned about this.”

These stories of Suboxone tooth loss are not isolated incidents. People across the country are now speaking out and taking legal action.
