Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
One of the side effect of long term use of oxycontin is dry mouth, as there is dry mouth the rate of cleansing of salive decreases especially at night so there are more chances of caries formation.
This could be the reason, dont worry.
Get a detailed checkup done get the decayed tooth filled.
Drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated.

Take care!
