meth damaging teeth is very overstated. only the most shitty meth is overloaded with excess HCl which is the main way it can etch enamel, otherwise, it's just "dry mouth" like weed and pharma stimulants mostly cause, also tobacco dries the mouth. these do reduce flushing of dental bacteria and a high carb diet also is a big contributor - and on that point, meth tends to deplete glucose levels very fast (via its thermogenic effects) which does tend to also induce the lowest grade of addicts towards consuming a lot of sugar.
