Subutex/Suboxone Tooth Decay
Has anyone received any updates on the subutex/suboxone tooth decay case? I saw an ad on Facebook years ago (through Keller Postman) and applied. Here recently, they emailed me my litigation paperwork to sign. I hope this is a sign that something is moving forward. I cannot afford to have the dental work done that is needed. I am losing my teeth so quickly. It is heartbreaking. They are chipping and decaying. I just had a root canal on a top molar about 6 months ago. Now, my bottom back molar is chipping and has a black hole in it. I will need a root canal on this tooth as well. I pray it doesn't start hurting me soon, but I am positive that it will. I am so embarrassed to smile. I used to have the most beautiful teeth, and now, I feel like people perceive me as an ugly "drug addict". I became dependent on opiates as a result of a severe back injury in my 20s. Tumbling and competitive cheerleading damaged my lower back, and it was downhill from there. Doctor visits, script after script, and then a dependence on Lortab and Percocet. It can happen to the best of us. I never did drugs. I am a professional with three college degrees. It is sad that so many people are becoming dependent on opiates. I will say that Subutex saved my life, but I never knew the damage that it would cause to my teeth. I just don't know what to do. They are only getting worse, and I just don't have the money to get them fixed. Please help! Any advice on this settlement?
