Does doing acid have an effect on teeth?

Question

My husband used to do acid when he was a teenager and though he's past that now for close to 8 years, his teeth are in bad shape. He went to the dentist on Monday and was told he has to come back next Wednesday to have 4 teeth pulled and have a plate of fake teeth. The dentist asked him if he does meth and of course the answer is no but my husband did not offer the info that he did use acid a lot as a kid. I am wondering if that could have an effect on the progress of the decay?

Update:

LSD, aka "acid," is odorless, colorless, and has a slightly bitter taste and is usually taken by mouth. Often LSD is added to absorbent paper, such as blotter paper, and divided into small, decorated squares, with each square representing one dose.

Yep.  We reap what we soe.  The acid used in younger years can contribute to problems like this down the road.  Wish we all knew that then ...

Anything that you take into your body affects your whole body, so of course doing acid would affect his teeth as well . 
But I think it would be more that, when you're stoned, you 
tend to eat unwholesome food, and not do your dental 
hygiene like you should. 
If the acid contained a lot of speed, as some does, it could 
affect his metabolism to the point where it could make his 
teeth bad. Friends I have known for years, who did speed, 
OMG they have bad teeth.  That stuff really messes you 
up. 
Glad he is taking care of himself now and hopefully in 
the future.

I think the drugs have an affect on those who answered.
Was the acid mentioned to the dentist meant to refer to stomach acid, reflux that DOES affect teeth.
I have dental work done that shows someone as they get older, the body's stomach acid can damage the back of the teeth wearing away the protective enamel surfaces.

acid has an effect on every part of the body, teeth included.  It can also have residual effects even though he is no longer using.  To minimize any future damage, lead a healthy lifestyle fom here on.

Acid has an effect on your whole body, just thank God he is off before it's too late. Don't worry about losing his teeth and pray that is all that is wrong with him.
