Your dentist can fill (bridge) gaps using artificial tooth implants or false teeth, also known as dental... moreThere is a reason why smoking is universally considered harmful to your overall health, especially your oral health. Yet, each day, around 1,600 youth try their first cigarette. Listed below are some of the harmful effects of smoking.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), one in five people suffers from untreated tooth decay. As a result, pain, infection, and many other problems can affect your speech, eating, and even working.
Smoking affects the large cavities surrounding the gum line, which results in infections and weak teeth. Repairing broken teeth is both painful and costly.
Gum disease is unsurprisingly quite common in most people. It is mainly caused by poor brushing and flossing habits, thereby enabling bacteria to harden.
The National Institute of Health declares smoking to be the chief cause of gum disease. On top of this, smoking also minimizes the success rate of gum disease treatment.
It is a well-known fact that smoking is directly proportional to teeth discoloration. The more you smoke, the faster your teeth turn yellow and the darker the yellow is.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a regular smoker or a chain smoker. All that matters is smoking, and tobacco (literally) paints a gross picture of your teeth.
No matter how “cool” smoking appears to be, it really isn’t. Not only does it cause severe medical problems, but it is becoming increasingly accepted among the youth.
If you are suffering from any or all of these adverse effects of smoking, visit our website for an immediate consultation and treat your dental problems as soon as possible.
