A porn star who says she partied with the bad-boy actor - now reportedly in rehab - says his teeth are mostly gold and that he wears a white dental apparatus to look presentable in public, a popular gossip site reported.

Kacey Jordan made the claim during a recent interview with gonzo radio host Howard Stern, according to radaronline.

"All his teeth have fallen out from partying," Jordan said, according to the Daily Mail. "He kept saying f****** porcelain teeth... they crap. Said he had to get gold teeth. Most of his teeth fallen out, he wouldn't say why but we all know it's because of the drug use."

While we don't really know the condition of Sheen's pearly whites, dentists say there's no doubt that certain drugs can cause tooth loss, some legitimate drugs, but illicit ones too. Methamphetamine (crystal meth), for instance, is such a notorious cause of tooth loss that doctors call the condition "meth mouth."

1. if so, he will next have a face of meth as well

since it is known to cause pustules. There is a website called the face of meth, if you can stand to look.

2. Yes, I have seen what it does to formerly nice looking

young people. You'd think vanity would make those people want to get off the drug if for no other reason.

5. this is THE most addictive drug to date

the rehab rate is only 20% It kills the brain cells and breaks the thought chains, so in the end, the only firing neuron is the first one that says "more drug." At that point, prison, hospital or death are about the only options left.

Someone very dear to me almost died from the horror. Her skin was a mess for a long time. Fortunately, she was savable and saved. Today she is a beautiful person both inside and out. For so many others, they weren't so lucky. An entire small town from where we lived became hooked on meth after the mills closed and there was no work and Hurwitz had swindled all the money from their pensions through Lincoln Savings and Loan (thanks John McCain.) They were left with nothing and meth is the drug of the hopeless.

Why Charlie Sheen would feel hopeless, I don't know. Maybe it is also the drug of the arrogant, or the overworked. I don't know why, I just know the results are earth shattering.

3. The meth mouth myth

It's a hygiene and lifestyle issue, apparently; Appalachia's teeth weren't exactly in great shape before the meth craze started, either.

8. Having had a tweeker for a sister, I can say that

meth mouth is not a myth.
