Smoking is injurious to health. We all are aware of this fact. It damages your lungs and also causes harmful effects to your respiratory system. However, a number of people are still unaware that you can lose your teeth due to smoking.
Yes, you read that right. Apart from the several ill effects of smoking, damage to teeth is also one of them. According to oral experts, smokers can develop more tartars on their teeth in comparison to non-smokers and it can lead to periodontal diseases.
The chemicals in tobacco products affect saliva flow in the mouth, making it easier for oral bacteria to stick to teeth and gums. Due to this, bacteria laden plaque can develop on the teeth and along the gum line.
Smokers are three to six times more likely to develop gum disease or periodontal disease, which can attack roots and cause teeth to fall out. Also, smokeless tobacco products can irritate gum tissue, causing gums to loosen around teeth, making it easier for bacteria to settle in and develop decay.
Another adverse effect of smoking is that it can stain your teeth to a yellow colour and also cause bad breath, which can be a big setback for your personality, personal and professional life.
Smoking disrupts the healing process after oral surgery for dental implants, tooth extraction, or treatment of gum disease. This makes the recovery process difficult. When brushing or flossing, smokers may notice that their gums bleed easily.
Cigarette smokers are more likely to develop oral cancer than non-smokers. Smoking cigarette debilitates your body’s safe framework, which thus gives the microscopic organisms command over your mouth.
Besides, life-threatening health ailments, smoking causes your teeth to look discoloured and dull. Moreover, chewing tobacco or smoking pushes a person to become less receptive to taste and thus develops chronic bad breath.
