What is Suboxone?
Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, introduced in the early 2000s to help reduce opioid dependency. Buprenorphine, the primary active ingredient, is an opioid that curbs withdrawal symptoms and lowers opioid cravings. Suboxone has been available in tablet and film forms, which dissolve under the tongue or inside the cheek.
Unfortunately, research has shown that buprenorphine may cause dental damage, including severe tooth decay and enamel erosion. Suboxone’s acidic nature, combined with its ability to cause dry mouth, has been linked to dental problems, a risk that wasn’t adequately disclosed until 2022.
