> Nearly all the psychoactive medications as well as many non-psychoactive medications damage teeth. Most of them cause damage by impeding the flow of saliva and drying out the mouth to an excessive degree. Others damage the teeth by depleting certain minerals, causing craving for sweets and/or causing movement disorders such as teeth-grinding. I hope you're not using cocaine.
I have never seen or could afford Cocaine, My dentist thinks i drink to much sugery drinks. But disolving Ritalin in my mouth i wonder if like Cocaine Hcl Methylphenidate Hcl causes Calcium loss-as Ozzy stated, or simply erodes enamal?
