Suboxone Dental Injury Claims in St. Joseph, Missouri
Patients in St. Joseph 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.
Missouri Filing Deadline
- Statute of Limitations: 5 years
- Rule Type: Date-of-injury rule
- Missouri has a 5-year statute of limitations for product liability claims. Unlike many states, Missouri uses an occurrence rule (clock starts at time of injury, not discovery). Consulting an attorney promptly is important.
