Medicines and Drugs that can Destroy Your Teeth. There are some medications, such as the antibiotics tetracycline, that may result in internal staining of the teeth. The production and use of methamphetamines, which is a strong stimulant drug, is an increasing problem in the United States.
Chronic snorting of cocaine and use of methamphetamines can cause abnormal changes in enamel. Swimmers who spend a lot of time in overchlorinated pools can lose tooth enamel, as can people who work with acids. Excess fluoride ingestion (fluorosis) during childhood can cause mottling of the enamel. Damaged tooth enamel can allow bacteria to more easily invade the tooth and form a cavity.
