THE RISKS OF SMOKING FOR ORAL HEALTH

Smoking is one of the leading causes of dental health problems. Smoking can increase the risk of gum diseases, such as periodontal disease, cavities, bad breath, poor nutrition, and oral cancer. Additionally, smoking can affect the body's ability to heal and maintain good oral health.


Periodontal diseases are one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. Smoking increases the risk of developing periodontal disease and also makes treatment more difficult. Smoke from tobacco contains chemicals that can irritate gums and destroy the tissue that holds teeth in place.


Smoking can also increase the risk of cavities and bad breath. Tobacco can stain teeth and gums, and also reduce the body's ability to produce saliva, which can increase the risk of cavities. Additionally, smoke from tobacco can cause bad breath due to the accumulation of bacteria in the mouth.


Smoking can also affect chewing and swallowing, which can make eating difficult and cause weight loss. Furthermore, smoking increases the risk of oral cancer, including cancer of the lip, tongue, cheek, palate, and pharynx.
