Today is METH Awareness Day.  The Meth epidemic has become a national tragedy. According to the US Dept of Justice, “Methamphetamine is a powerful, highly addictive stimulant drug that dramatically affects the central nervous system.  A person using meth may experience irritability, fatigue, headaches, anxiety, sleeplessness, confusion, aggressive feelings, violent rages, cravings for more meth, and depression.  They may become psychotic and experience paranoia.  The paranoia may lead to homicidal or suicidal thoughts. A fairly common hallucination experienced by meth users is the so-called crank bug.  The user gets the sensation that there are insects creeping on top of, or underneath, her skin.  The user will pick at or scratch her skin trying to get rid of the imaginary bugs.  This scratching can create open sores that may become infected.” In the mouth, “Meth reduces the amount of protective saliva around the teeth.  Users consume excess sugared soft drinks, tend to neglect personal hygiene, grind their teeth and clench their jaws, leading to what is commonly called “meth mouth.” Teeth can eventually fall out of users’ mouths—even as they do simple things like eating a sandwich.” 🔗 is in the bio. #meth #methaddict #methawarenessday #methawareness #methhead #oralhealth #health #addiction #drugaddiction #teeth #decay #cavities #oralhygiene #skinlesions #drugaddictionawareness #dental #dentistry #houstondocs #houston #texas #houstondentist #texasdentist #dentistry #crankbugs #methmouth
