Adderall and your teeth
Generic name: Amphetamine / dextroamphetamine · Class: CNS stimulant
Adderall is a stimulant used for ADHD and narcolepsy that increases dopamine and norepinephrine.
Stimulants like Adderall are strongly linked to teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and dry mouth. The combination wears down enamel, fractures fillings, and raises cavity risk in patients who often had no decay before starting the medication.
