Answer 2

A common myth about Crystal Meth is what many people call Meth Mouth. This is when the teeth begin to become black and rot from using to much meth. Also cracking can happen to the teeth. They believe it was because of acid in Meth but this is not true. Meth is a base substance and the meth mouth is cause by a side effect called dry mouth: less saliva enters the mouth making it a lot easier to get bad cavities. The cracks is from the urge you get from meth to grind your teeth wearing them down and later creating cracks. A common myth about Crystal Meth is what many people call Meth Mouth.
