Clever anti-smoking campaigns and creative advertising designed to get people to quit smoking.
Most of us know that smoking is bad for our health, but did you know that smoking is also a major contributor to many dental problems? Cigarettes aren't the only products only to blame. All forms of tobacco, including cigars, smokeless tobacco and hookah water pipes, pose dental health concerns.
Dental Problems Associated with Tobacco Use
Tobacco use...
- greatly increases the risk for oral cancer, a disease that progresses rapidly and can be deadly if not diagnosed and treated early.
- increases the risk of gum disease, which is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults.
- (smoking in particular) can slow down healing after oral surgery procedures, such as having a tooth pulled.
- can damage gum tissue and cause receding gums, leaving the roots of the teeth exposed. This could increase the risk of tooth decay and cause hot/cold sensitivity.
- can cause bad breath.
- causes stains on teeth that can't be removed with regular brushing.
- can cause a build up of tartar, which could require you to get more frequent dental cleanings.
