Suboxone is commonly used to treat opioid addiction by combining buprenorphine and naloxone. It typically comes in the form of a dissolvable film, which is placed under the tongue or inside the cheek for several minutes.
Because buprenorphine and naloxone are acidic when dissolved, Suboxone film can weaken your enamel and lead to tooth decay or other issues.
“Since buprenorphine was approved, we identified 305 cases of dental problems (131 cases classified as serious) with buprenorphine medicines dissolved in the mouth.”
– U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
The actual number of patients who’ve experienced dental issues after using Suboxone and other buprenorphine medicines may be much higher. Not all dental issues have been reported.
In January 2022, the FDA issued a formal warning about buprenorphine dental risks. Despite this, manufacturers failed to take action and address these concerns — until the FDA required them to in June 2022..
