How does methamphetamine use cause painful mouth sores to form?
Dear Alice, First things first, I love your website. I really like the format and especially love getting Alice in my e-mail box! My question is regarding smoking ice (methamphetamine). Sometimes, but not always, after I’ve smoked a lot, I get white sores on my tongue, especially, but all over in my mouth. I have a theory about this, and I’d appreciate any info you could supply. I think it is a sort of chemical burn from the iodine in the ice. I know it makes you get dehydrated, and I think this is part of why it burns (if it is a burn). You don’t have normal amounts of saliva to naturally flush things out of your mouth. I also think that’s a contributing factor in why it is so damaging to the teeth. I’m sorry, I’m babbling. My mouth is in so much pain! It looks like little patches of something growing and is especially bad where my tongue rubs against the back of my molars. Thanks in advance for the help!
