Tooth decay and cavities
PrimaryWidespread decay, often across multiple teeth, requiring fillings, root canals, or crowns.
Tied to relaxer use: The FDA's 2022 warning specifically cited tooth decay with mouth-dissolved buprenorphine.
The acidic Suboxone sublingual film has been linked to severe dental damage. Cases against Indivior are consolidated as MDL 3092 in the Northern District of Ohio. We never sell your information.
Suboxone film dissolves under the tongue, and it is acidic enough that prolonged, repeated contact can erode tooth enamel. Patients using it for opioid dependence reported severe tooth decay, cavities, cracked teeth, and tooth loss. In 2022 the FDA required a warning about dental problems for buprenorphine medicines dissolved in the mouth. The federal cases are consolidated as MDL 3092 before Judge Philip Calabrese.
The mechanism is straightforward. Suboxone film is designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth, and its low pH means repeated daily exposure can wear down enamel and drive decay, cavities, and tooth loss, sometimes requiring extractions, root canals, crowns, or implants.
In January 2022 the FDA added a warning about dental problems for buprenorphine medicines taken by dissolving in the mouth. Plaintiffs allege the manufacturer knew or should have known and failed to warn earlier. The federal cases are consolidated as MDL 3092 before Judge Philip Calabrese in the Northern District of Ohio.
The documented basis for these claims:
The claims center on serious dental damage from prolonged film use.
Widespread decay, often across multiple teeth, requiring fillings, root canals, or crowns.
Tied to relaxer use: The FDA's 2022 warning specifically cited tooth decay with mouth-dissolved buprenorphine.
Advanced decay leading to broken teeth, extractions, dentures, or implants.
Tied to relaxer use: Tooth loss is among the most commonly documented severe outcomes in these claims.
Enamel loss and related oral surgery costs are also claimed depending on severity.
Tied to relaxer use: Severity and treatment history drive how a case is evaluated.

You do not need to prove the chemistry on Suboxone film. The FDA already required a dental warning. Your job is to confirm you used the film and had serious dental damage.
The claims focus on buprenorphine/naloxone sublingual FILM that dissolves in the mouth, including Suboxone brand film and generic equivalents. Tablet-only use is weaker but sometimes evaluated.
Serious damage such as widespread tooth decay, cavities, cracked teeth, tooth loss, extractions, and related dental surgery. Minor issues generally do not qualify.
There is no fixed threshold, but longer film use with significant dental damage makes the strongest cases. The eligibility check and attorney review sort this out.
No. The claim is about a failure to warn of the dental risk, not about whether you needed the medication. Your treatment for opioid dependence is not the issue.
Eventually, your prescription history and dental records showing the damage and treatment. You do not need all of it to start; the intake team helps gather it.
We connect you. The check routes qualified cases to a Suboxone-experienced attorney, and you can accept or decline.
