For many veterans battling opioid dependency, Suboxone offered a path forward. Marketed as a safer, long-term treatment for opioid use disorder, it became widely prescribed within VA systems and civilian care alike. But in recent years, thousands of patients—including many veterans—began to report severe, unexplained dental issues after long-term Suboxone use.
Cracked teeth. Cavities. Full-mouth decay. And in many cases, no prior history of dental problems.
The issue? Suboxone, particularly in its brand-name dissolvable film form, has been linked to serious tooth decay—something that wasn’t adequately disclosed until the FDA issued a public warning in 2022.
Why This Matters for Veterans
Veterans already face systemic challenges when it comes to healthcare access, including dental care, which is not always covered through the VA. For many, Suboxone was a lifeline—one prescribed under the belief it was safe for long-term use. The consequences of this hidden risk have been devastating:
- Rapid onset of dental decay, despite good oral hygiene
- Expensive dental reconstruction or full extractions
- Emotional and physical toll on daily life
We’ve spoken to veterans who were proud of their sobriety, only to lose their teeth as a result.
The Legal Landscape: Suboxone Mass Tort Litigation
Lawsuits are now being filed nationwide against the manufacturers of brand-name Suboxone films, alleging that they failed to warn users of the drug’s dental risks adequately. The litigation is in early stages, but growing quickly, especially as more veterans come forward.
This isn’t just about reimbursement for dental bills. It’s about accountability.
