Meth addiction can affect almost any individual, even you. What would happen if someone you knew, such as a loved one, started abusing methamphetamine? Imagine a man with a new start in life. He met a woman, got married and settled on the West Coast. They bought a house together and soon after had their first child. The man started a new, well-paid job working nights in the construction industry, which had started to take a toll on him. The man had found a job for his brother-in-law who worked alongside him. His brother-in-law suggested methamphetamines as a way to stay energetic at night due to their ability to keep a fatigued individual active. Methamphetamine is a highly addictive drug that has disturbing effects on the body and has caused the man to lose control. After about a year the man lost everything he cared about. The man had started using methamphetamine more frequently, which had dramatically changed his home life. Tearing his house apart to remodel it with no intention of actually repairing it. The wife couldn't take it anymore and left, taking the child with her. He soon lost his home and was living on the streets. A lump began to form just under her lip, but it went unnoticed due to the effects of methamphetamine. The lump turned out to be cancer that had spread from the skin to the jaw. Half of the man's jaw had to be removed and the man had a facial disfigurement for the rest of his life. If he had not taken methamphetamine, he could have received timely treatment and avoided the disaster. The most common health problems related to drug addiction are those associated with oral health. One of the most visual effects of methamphetamines is on the oral cavity. Methamphetamine greatly helps in the progression of tooth decay. Half... half paper... documented and any strange behavior that indicates abuse. Dental or oral disease is the most common medical problem in methamphetamine addicts who are otherwise mostly healthy. Blackened, stained, rotten, or crumbling teeth, which are a feature of methamphetamine abuse, are known as "meth mouth." On average, methamphetamine users had a particularly high number of missing teeth compared to control participants and were more likely to report having oral health problems (Shetty). A significant number of methamphetamine users have shown concerns about their dental appearance, problems with bruxism, or erosion of broken or loose teeth. Many assume that users who inject the drug have a lower risk of dental disease than those who smoke or inhale methamphetamine, but this is false. Intravenous (administered into one or more veins) methamphetamine use was significantly more likely to be a factor with missing teeth than with methamphetamine smoking. Conclusion
