Lifestyle addicts suffer from massive tooth decay & dental problems, in similar proportions, regardless of which drug they were using. Whatever the pharmacological impact of meth usage on oral health, it's pretty clear to me that it's a much smaller factor than the general gone-to-hell life of a full time addict.
