The reason why amphetamines are bad for your teeth is that they prevent your mouth from making saliva, which allows bacteria to multiply and causes other bad things to happen as well. Obviously it's probably not a good idea to be using meth in the first place, but if you're going to use any sort of drug that causes dry mouth then at the very least you should brush, floss, and use mouthwash and flouride rinse beforehand.
