FAQs:

What is Suboxone? 

Suboxone is a prescription medication used to treat opioid dependence and addiction. It contains two active ingredients. The first is buprenorphine. This ingredient helps reduce withdrawal symptoms by partially activating opioid receptors in the brain. The other ingredient Naloxone helps prevent misuse because it blocks the effects of opioids if the medication is taken improperly. The medication is a part of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to help individuals reduce opioid dependence and maintain recovery. It comes in the form of a sublingual film or tablet which dissolves under the tongue.

What Dental Problems Can Suboxone Cause?  

Suboxone has been associated with several dental issues, particularly when used over a prolonged period. Some of the most commonly reported dental problems include:

1. Tooth decay – accelerated tooth decay and enamel erosion.
2. Tooth loss – severe decay can lead to teeth falling out.
3. Cavities – an increased risk of cavities, even with routine oral care.
4. Gum injuries – inflammation and damage to gums.
5. Tongue injuries – irritation or sores on the tongue.

These issues may occur due to the acidic nature of the medication and its impact on saliva production.
