Effects Of Smoking On Your Oral Health

Posted on 14 October 2021

Have you finally decided to quit smoking? If so, your dentist will applaud such efforts. Smoking can have extremely negative impacts upon the health of your teeth and gums. In order to provide you with additional motivation, here are three conditions which many smokers might otherwise have to endure:

• Smoking cigarettes can lead to periodontal (gum) disease.
• One or more teeth may be lost as a result, particularly as we age.
• Smoking stains the teeth and it can cause cavities to develop.
• Smoking greatly increases risk of oral cancers.
