The literature that comes with it tells you it will rot your teeth. You need to see if you can live with that.

Yes it absolutely will. I’ve been on it for about 4 years and all my back teeth are almost completely gone and had to pull 2 so far. Now my front is being affected and I just want to cry!!!!! But this medication works amazing for my pain so I’m in a pickle

I have been on Buprenorphine buccal patches for a few months for neuropathy pain. It is the only medication that helps. So far, no side effects. I’m 83 and have all my teeth which I take good care of. If they do rot it will be worth it to get the pain relief for advanced neuropathy after more than 10 years of pain from several different problems. I have to weigh the benefits.
The patches do make me sleepy and I don’t like that.
