Does doing acid have an effect on teeth?

My husband used to do acid when he was a teenager and though he's past that now for close to 8 years, his teeth are in bad shape. He went to the dentist on Monday and was told he has to come back next Wednesday to have 4 teeth pulled and have a plate of fake teeth. The dentist asked him if he does meth and of course the answer is no but my husband did not offer the info that he did use acid a lot as a kid. I am wondering if that could have an effect on the progress of the decay?

Yep. We reap what we soe. The acid used in younger years can contribute to problems like this down the road. Wish we all knew that then ...

Reply:Acid has an effect on your whole body, just thank God he is off before it's too late. Don't worry about losing his teeth and pray that is all that is wrong with him.

Reply:acid has an effect on every part of the body, teeth included. It can also have residual effects even though he is no longer using. To minimize any future damage, lead a healthy lifestyle fom here on.
Reply:Anything that you take into your body affects your whole body, so of course doing acid would affect his teeth as well .


But I think it would be more that, when you're stoned, you


tend to eat unwholesome food, and not do your dental


hygiene like you should.


If the acid contained a lot of speed, as some does, it could


affect his metabolism to the point where it could make his


teeth bad. Friends I have known for years, who did speed,


OMG they have bad teeth. That stuff really messes you


up.


Glad he is taking care of himself now and hopefully in


the future.

Was the acid mentioned to the dentist meant to refer to stomach acid, reflux that DOES affect teeth.


I have dental work done that shows someone as they get older, the body's stomach acid can damage the back of the teeth wearing away the protective enamel surfaces.
