Years ago, it was fashionable to smoke. How times have changed!
In today’s world, whether it’s cigarettes, a pipe or cigar, you are banned from almost any social environment if you smoke. Even your teeth will retaliate!
The Risks to Your Dental Health from Smoking
Smoking affects the attachment of bone and soft tissue to your teeth. Smoking impairs blood flow to the gums. As a result, when you wear down the bone and soft tissue and have limited blood flow, your gums will become ineffective in wound healing. And, it is evident, that smoking causes wounds.
Smokeless products are no better. They contain many chemicals that can irritate your gums, causing gum tissue to recede and pull away from the teeth, making it easy for bacteria to enter and thrive.
The more obvious signs of damage to your teeth from smoking are discoloration, bad breath, stains and tartar, damaging the gums causing swelling and redness; makings for a very unattractive smile.
Let’s face it! Smoking of any kind is unattractive, harmful to your teeth and to your overall health.
