Patients using Suboxone sublingual film — dissolved under the tongue as part of opioid addiction treatment — are filing claims after experiencing severe tooth decay, cracked teeth, and tooth loss that required extensive dental work, effects they say were never clearly warned about.
Free, confidential review — about 2 minutes.
Suboxone film (buprenorphine and naloxone) is placed under the tongue and held there to dissolve, as part of medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. Because the medication is acidic and sits directly against the teeth and gums for an extended period, patients using the sublingual film — not the tablet form — have reported rapid, severe tooth decay, cracked and crumbling teeth, and in many cases the loss of multiple teeth.
Patients pursuing these claims argue that the manufacturer knew of this dental risk well before it was added to the label in 2022 and failed to warn patients and prescribers sooner. These claims are filed against the manufacturer — not against the doctor who prescribed a medication used to treat a serious and life-threatening condition, and not against the patient for pursuing treatment.
Anyone who used Suboxone sublingual film (as opposed to the tablet form) for an extended period — generally two months or more — and went on to experience significant tooth decay, cracking, or tooth loss requiring dental treatment.
