How Does Smoking Affect Oral Health?
Smoking and tobacco use have significant negative effects on your oral health, including:
- Gum Disease: Smokers are twice as likely to develop gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss if untreated.
- Oral Cancer: Tobacco use is a leading cause of oral cancer.
- Staining and Bad Breath: Smoking causes stubborn stains on your teeth and persistent bad breath.
- Delayed Healing: Smoking slows down healing after dental procedures, increasing the risk of complications.
- Bone Loss: Smoking contributes to bone loss in the jaw, weakening the foundation for your teeth.
