First of all, are you sure you don't have dry mouth?

All of the medications you've mentioned can cause it and it doesn't have to be a hugely significant dryness to be classified as dry mouth and allow bacteria to linger on your teeth and in your mouth.

Even a slight lowering of saliva production can cause that.

Additionally, narcotics can actually leech the minerals out of your body and many people that are on long-term treatment with them end up with extreme tooth decay.

If you've ever seen pictures of someone that has been a long time drug addict, almost all of them will have severe dental decay or will have completely lost all of their teeth. The drugs they abuse tend to cause leeching of the necessary minerals and their drug addled states add neglect of oral hygiene into the mix, so things really reach extremes.

You may want to check with your doctor about having a blood test done to check your levels of calcium and vitamin D. If they are dropping low, you may need to add some supplements to help boost them back up.

Do you have a dentist that you see regularly?

There may also be ways that they can help, such as putting a sealant on your teeth and providing you with special mouth rinses to help better cleanse your teeth.

You may also need to go in more frequently for dental check ups and preventative treatments.
