'Meth Mouth'': An Interdisciplinary Review of a Dental and Psychiatric Condition

摘要

Objective: Chronic methamphetamine ( MA) users experience many dental problems, a condition characterized as "meth mouth.'' These devastating effects on dentition is the main reason why many seek professional help. Here, we discuss the effects of MA on oral health and advocate for improved collaboration between dentists and mental health providers. We also introduce a dental evaluation tool with the goal of improving the quality of care for this often-marginalized patient population.
