What Smoking Can Do To Teeth And Gums
Smoking has a negative effect on our overall health and can have particularly harmful consequences on our oral health.
Key takeaways:
- Tobacco limits circulation to the gums, so oral tissue becomes vulnerable to infection and disease.
- Harmful chemicals in cigarettes can turn healthy oral cells into cancerous cells.
- Smoking can cause bone loss along the jaw, which can in turn result in teeth loss.
If you’re struggling to quit, speak to your dentist or GP for advice on how to successfully ditch this habit.
