Suboxone Lawsuit Attorneys in Sacramento
Representing People Injured by Suboxone
Did you use Suboxone and later suffer from serious dental issues like enamel erosion, tooth loss, cavities, tooth infection, and tooth decay? Suboxone could be the cause of your dental problems—and Indivior, the manufacturer of Suboxone, could be liable for your past and future medical and dental expenses and damages related to your pain and suffering.
Kershaw Talley Barlow, a nationally recognized plaintiffs’ law firm known for defective drug cases, class actions, and mass torts, is currently investigating claims of Suboxone’s link to serious dental issues. Furthermore, we are looking into the complaint that Indivior knew or should have reasonably known that Suboxone could cause these side effects but did nothing to warn consumers and healthcare providers. Through legal action, we may be able to prove that Invidior injured consumers and, therefore, should be liable for damages.
You may qualify to file a Suboxone lawsuit with our help if you:
- Have been prescribed Suboxone film for opioid addiction and/or pain management;
- Used Suboxone film for at least six months before suffering injuries;
- Have had routine dental care before Suboxone film usage; and
- Have never used methamphetamine.

What is Suboxone?
Suboxone is the combination of buprenorphine and naloxone to treat opioid withdrawal symptoms and reduce opioid cravings. It is used orally by placing it under the tongue or against the inner cheek, where it takes up to 30 minutes to dissolve. Since its introduction to the medical industry in the early 2000s, Suboxone has been prescribed countless times to help patients overcome opioid addiction.
Dental Problems Related to Suboxone
Throughout the years, Suboxone users have experienced a higher-than-expected rate of serious dental problems. The higher incidence of dental damage among Suboxone users compared to non-Suboxone users has pointed to a significant connection between the drug and dental injuries.
Dental damage reported among Suboxone users include:
- Tooth decay
- Cavities
- Tooth cracks or fractures
- Root canals
- Oral infections
- Tooth loss
- Gum injuries or infections
- Tongue injuries
Why Should Indivior Be Liable?
The first Suboxone lawsuit was filed in September 2023, and it names Indivior as the defendant for selling a defective and unsafe drug product. Furthermore, it claims that Invidior knew or reasonably should have known that Suboxone could cause serious dental side effects but did not do enough to inform consumers and medical providers who prescribe it. Specifically, the lawsuit – and many others that have since followed – point to several studies and regulatory developments that outline the connection between Suboxone and dental problems that Indivior never addressed or acknowledged:
- 2013: A clinical study first identified the potential link between buprenorphine and dental damage.
- 2017: Prescription drug researchers find more evidence that buprenorphine creates a high risk of dental damage and tooth decay.
- 2022: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns the public that the buprenorphine in Suboxone may cause adverse dental effects, and the drug’s warning label is updated to reflect this change.
- 2023: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) launches a new research campaign to better understand the connection between buprenorphine and dental damage.
Should You Keep Using Suboxone?
As with any prescription medication, you should not stop using Suboxone without first talking with your doctor. Even if you suspect that Suboxone could be the cause of your dental problems, it is best to share your concerns with your doctor, who can evaluate your condition and help you reach a decision based on your medical history. Alternative medications may exist to help you with opioid withdrawal symptoms, allowing you to continue treatment without the continued use of Suboxone.
