World No Tobacco Day: The Impact of Tobacco on Your Dental Health

As a dental clinic, we see firsthand how tobacco use can wreak havoc on oral health. On this World No Tobacco Day, we want to highlight the various ways tobacco harms your teeth and gums.

Gum Disease: Tobacco use is a significant risk factor for periodontal (gum) disease. It reduces blood flow to the gums, making them more susceptible to infections and delaying healing processes.

Oral Cancer: Tobacco is a leading cause of oral cancer, affecting areas like the lips, tongue, cheeks, and gums. Early detection and quitting tobacco are crucial for effective treatment.

Tooth Discoloration: Tar and nicotine from tobacco stain your teeth, turning them yellow or brown over time. These stains can be difficult to remove without professional dental cleanings.

Bad Breath: Tobacco use often leads to persistent bad breath due to the presence of tobacco particles in the mouth and reduced saliva production.

This World No Tobacco Day, consider quitting to protect your smile and overall health. If you need help, our dental team is here to support you with resources and advice. Let's work together for a healthier, brighter future!
