After reading information about buprenorphine, it did say that there was a potential for your teeth to "rot" out. At least that's what I call that particular side effect! I was horrified. Did investigate further and believe that was a problem with the "film" and the "tablet". I discussed it with my treating pharmacist and confirmed that I could stay on the patches. Of course, everyone should verify this with own trusted medical team. Glad you have an appointment with the Mayo Clinic to evaluate your liver. May you get the best of care and healing!

I also tried Butrans patch for a month before giving up. Pain relief was minimal and they seemed to make me dizzy.
After I fell in my own home I discontinued use and am "eating" Ibuprofen and re-evaluating my pain protocol.
I have an unopened box I paid $100 for... I need call pharmacy and see if they will take it back.
Take good care of you.
