Registration required (and damn their full page ads!), but an interesting
read.

"From the moment on Thursday when the young man sat down in Dr. Richard
Stein's dental chair in southwestern Kansas and opened his mouth, Dr.
Stein was certain he recognized the enemy. This had to be the work, he
concluded, of methamphetamine, a drug that is leaving its mark, especially
in the rural regions of the Midwest and the South, on families, crime
rates, economies, legislatures - and teeth."

The article goes on to claim that many dentist don't know Meth Mouth when
they see it. A rather gruesome picture of the condition is in the article.

Anyone here seen it? (The condition, that is, not the news item.)

I've got movie star's teeth compared to those poor souls. And dentists get
dollar signs in  their eyes whenever they look in my mouth.

You might be surprised.  If you keep going to the same dentist for
years, it could be, "Holy crap, Tony's on the book today.  I wonder
what kind of disaster he will hold for us this time.  I wish he'd lay of
the soda and take care of his teeth."
