- ch4s3 6y agoThe primary mechanism for "meth mouth" and similar oral health issues are dry mouth and teeth clenching which can be caused by a number of stimulants including caffeine(at moderate to high doses of ~6 cups of coffee). The remedy for which seems to be drinking a lot of water. That said, it's obviously bad to give children diet drugs but that has no real bearing on how we treat recreational drug users who are adults.
