Suboxone Dental Injury Claims in Newport, Rhode Island
Patients in Newport who used Suboxone sublingual film and suffered dental damage — including tooth decay, fractures, tooth loss, or the need for expensive dental procedures — may be eligible to file a product liability claim against Indivior PLC and Aquestive Therapeutics, the manufacturers of Suboxone film.
The FDA confirmed in June 2022 that buprenorphine sublingual medicines like Suboxone film cause serious dental injuries — even in patients with no prior dental problems. The film's highly acidic pH (~3.4) erodes tooth enamel with repeated daily use.
