Here are the top 5 effects of smoking on oral health:
#1 Gum Disease
Tobacco’s sugars and irritants cause gum infections. Over time, gum disease can lead to tooth loss.
#2 Oral Cancer
Tobacco causes several types of cancers, including mouth, throat, esophagus, cheek, gum, lip and tongue cancer.
#3 Delayed Healing
Smoking and the use of other tobacco products slow down blood flow throughout your oral cavity and thus, delays the healing process.
Simple dental procedures become more complicated:
- Dental implants would have a higher chance to fail
- Tooth extraction site would be more prone to infection
- Gum disease treatment would be less effective
#4 Discoloured and/or Stained Teeth
Smoking exposes your teeth to both tobacco and nicotine. As a result, stained and yellow teeth are likely to happen.
The more you smoke, the more it affects your sense of taste.
#5 Bad Breath
Despite health advisories, people continue to smoke, risking their health and wellbeing.
Among other things, smoking results in bad breath, which can be a cause of serious embarrassment.
While it may seem mild, bad breath is actually an indication of many things going wrong inside the mouth, because of smoking.
