1. I think he should be tested to find out how much
he definitely didn't use...


Just wondering, doesn't meth (over time) do terrible things to your face and teeth etc?
He certainly doesn't look like he was using it.

3. ...
"Just wondering, doesn't meth (over time) do terrible things to your face and teeth etc?"

I think that depends on where the meth is coming from, and how good your dentist is.

5. I wondered about that too...
So I looked it up on Wikipedia:

Methamphetamine use may decrease the production of saliva. A lack of saliva's natural protective effects directly leads to increased tooth decay, particularly at the gumline. Many users also smoke tobacco or consume highly sugared soft drinks, worsening the problem

Basic neglect of personal hygiene is likely among the most important causes of poor oral health among methamphetamine users.


I'm guessing he's not a frequent enough user for this side effect to have shown itself.

6. Or he doesn't neglect his hygiene.
I suppose a character like this, even on meth, doesn't neglect his hygience. Or he pays people not to neglect it for him.

7. True enough
What I inferred from the above was that frequent meth users are so strung out all the time, that they neglect the basic niceties, including oral hygiene.

I doubt that he could have been a frequent user, or *someone* would have noticed--even if he was having his teeth taken care of.

(omg we're discussing Pastor Ted's teeth :rofl:)

9. I could be wrong...
but I'm pretty sure that meth abuse extends across class lines evenly, it only gets noticed in so-called "trailer trash" because of other reasons.

4. My daughter's ex-boyfriend didn't look like a meth addict...
but yes, it can do horrible things to the user's skin and teeth.

11. I bet you can..
set up a lab to convert meth into Sudafed or Ephedrine, if you need a good decongestant since it's getting really hard to buy them legit anymore.
