Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone and teeth

suboxone

Avatar f tn I have been on suboxone for 3 years. Yesterday, I had 2 teeth pulled and my mother in law gave me some tramadol. Without even thinking (and I think I was under the impression that it wasn’t an opioid) I took a 50mg. My question is.. when can I safely take my suboxone dose? I should also add that I took the tramadol at 1:30pm and it is now 9:00pm and I have not taken any of my next suboxone dose yet. I quickly realized I may have screwed up.

Avatar f tn Yes I was an addict for Seven years and but never had any type of issues with my teeth. I got clean and started suboxone treatment within the end of the first year my teeth began rotting away. I didn't have insurance or money to go to the dentist to catch it before it was to late. Now I need dentures.

Avatar f tn I also had perfect teeth, and a beautiful smile. Approximately 3 years after being on the Suboxone, my teeth started falling apart. It started with getting my molars and back teeth pulled, then progressed to having 4 to 6 teeth being pulled at a time. I am left with 7 top front and bottom teeth. I have not been able to eat normal foods in years. In Nov I went for my 6 month cleaning and was told that all of my remaining teeth on top need to be pulled.
1091982 tn?1256942513 i had a c-spine fusion with 2 plates and lost all of my top teeth during our time together, and i did tell him i was taking the medications, but i broke our contract by doing that. i have been off of all illegal, non prescribed drugs and alcohol- i attend meetings regularly and i thought it was all good. obviously it was not all good, and a couple of times i scared myself with my usage. i am now detoxing from the fentanyl and it is scary. i do have 5/500 hydro's but not many.
Avatar f tn Im on suboxone and I take 3 quarters a day of the tablets, im getting all four of my wisdom teeth removed and will be sedated,they are doing a IV and local anesthesia. I do not want to tell the surgeon because they will look at me differently. What should i do taper myself to a quarter a day and then not do any the day before and of the surgery? What should i do and will i be ok if i do that?
Avatar n tn I also had three teeth cut out, broke my foot and got a really bad abscess on my face, suboxone helps it all.
Avatar f tn Those that claim it rotted their teeth. No, not staying hydrated, not flossing, and not brushing regularly is what rotted the teeth. Sugar 99% reason for rotted teeth & the other 1% is dehydration.
Avatar f tn How to wean off Fentanyl patches and high doses of Vicodin? Anyone try Suboxone?
3197167 tn?1348968606 HI do you have a sort of blurry vision? i had it for some time at times and then it got better but i can not remember the time it took, maybe a couple of months but i guess everyone is different. And yes, i spent a lot of money on dentists :) i didn't take care of my teeth for a long time so..... i have had a lot of work done. I can not advice you about the restoral, don't know about it...
Avatar f tn If I could go back before I decided suboxone would be a good idea, I would kick myself and my doctor in the teeth. Im currently 2 weeks without suboxone after 3 years of it. and I cant belive how horrible the withdrawals were. had I known then what I know now... I would have kicked heroin/oxys by it self in a heart beat. Please don't be another number. the heroin/oxy withdrawals last much less and aren't as horrible as methadone/suboxones are.
351846 tn?1273615544 I feel that. When I was stuck on suboxone it felt so hopeless... and finally quitting and feeling sooo sick was such a smack in the face.. its like I sought out help for my drug problem.. help came in the form of "Easy Detox off Opiates, No Withdrawal Experienced - Try Suboxone Today!!!" I was like Oh yeah-sounds perfect!.. and the doctor was so kind and caring and I do think he really gave a shi*t and wasnt in it for the money.
Avatar f tn I was addicted to percocet and vicodin for about two years on and off and went into treatment for that. I am now addicted to the suboxone which I even told my doctor and he didn't want to wean me. This is nothing but a money maker for doctors. I have weaned myself down from 16 mg a day...down to six mg on my own and I am now on 2 mg/day....but I am nauseous and severely depressed since my NEW doctor lowered my dose.
Avatar f tn I had all upper teeth surgically removed a week ago. Was on Suboxone -3 2mg films) so my pc switched me to Methadone(10mg 3x a day or as NEEDED) so that Dentist could control the pain via 'Norco' (hydrocodon*/acet-5/325) Note *hydroconDON not 'done'--wth is with making so many dif-but-similar drugs with dif-but similar names??? Enough to mix up even a real DOC! Now, being a recovering addict/self Doc- (LOL, are we not all 'supposed self taught docs-so we think?
Avatar m tn Buprenorphine is the active ingredient in Suboxone, Subutex, and Buprenex. Suboxone has a added ingredient called Naloxone. This was added to prevent abuse, and the Naloxone in Suboxone will allegedly cause immediate withdrawal if the Suboxone is injected or possibly snorted.
Avatar f tn However, I can honestly say there is an ending to the pain and misery. I started seeing it after about day 7. You just have to grit your teeth and fight through that first week. You can do this! I know you can!
Avatar n tn arisa, I was on methadone maintance for 3 years, and due to the fact that my teeth, and I mean each and every on decayed at the root and this did not occur until I had been on methadone for over 2 years, and I assume it depends greatly on the heredity of the person, being prone as many females thru heredity of calcium depletion, and early bone mass loss, which I am, I am 50 yrs old now, but my 24 yr old niece also has had many of her teeth to do the same as mine after being on methadone, I bec
Avatar m tn I took 8mg of Suboxone and 2-3 tablets of Ultram for about 6-months. TODAY I decided that I'm going to be off this med in 2-weeks (on St Patricks Day I want to be clean). I have not been 100% in these 6-months, lazy and moody, it's time to be 100% clean of ALL drugs and start being myself again. I HAVE TO DO IT THIS TIME - SO ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!!! I have the luxury of working from my house and I have a nearby gym with a sauna as I heard a good aerobic workout and sweating helps.
1091982 tn?1256942513 i also have 3 fistulas in my upper jaw, and it is painful all of the time. my teeth started to fall out and break off, and i know that my pain doc talked to my dentist-my pain doc had me on heavy anti-biotics for 3 months to treat the infection. then i injured my knee- there is a large bone piece loose in between my kneecap, and my knee is worn unevenly- it gets really painful if i am on a ladder or even on my feet for long.
Avatar m tn and the done stole my personality, emotions, ruined my teeth, and ruined my memory. i have been clean from it since June of 07, and still have memory problems. the stuff is pure poison.
Avatar m tn That is going to be my demon, teeth and my wonderful Kidney Stones. You have to safeguard and know your trigger, and then prevent it at all costs. I would say using for a purpose, medically, is not a relapse, but the second you decide that "just one more" or "I think its an 8.5 of 10" when its really a 5, just to tell yourself its ok... Then you need to just throw that stuff in the garbage disposal.
Avatar n tn I noticed that I having been grinding my teeth at night because I wake up and my jaw is sore. Is the head ache a normal side effect or should I go back to the doc. I want to not take these anymore but I'm scared that I'm going to get the migraine head aches for several days longer. Any help or advice would be nice.

Avatar f tn If you become pregnant while taking SUBOXONE, alert your doctor immediately as there may be significant risks to you and your baby; your baby may have symptoms of withdrawal at birth. If you are pregnant or become pregnant while taking SUBOXONE, you should report it using the contact information provided below.* Before taking SUBOXONE, talk to your doctor if you are breast-feeding or plan to breast-feed. SUBOXONE can pass into your milk and may harm the baby.
