  1. 7 ADVERSE EFFECTS OF SMOKING ON YOUR ORAL HEALTH

  2. • You all have heard or read that "smoking is dangerous to your health" many times before - yet many people ignore all the harmful effects. • Besides having adverse effects on your lungs and cardiovascular system, smoking also affects your teeth, mouth and gums. • Smoking deeply affects the oral health of a person.

  3. The following are the adverse effects of smoking on your oral health: 1. Smoking increases your chances of getting oral cancer and also contributes to the cancers of the mouth, tongue, lips, gums, and throat. 2. Smoking leads to tooth decay and tooth loss by increasing the plaque amount in your mouth. 3. Smoking is a primary cause of gum disease or periodontal disease. If left untreated, gum disease can cause extensive damage to your gums and the underlying bone tissue. 4. Smoking dries out your mouth and causes bad breath. Nicotine from smoking settles down on your oral cavities leading to a distinctive smokers breath.

  4. 5. Smoking can ruin your beautiful smile by causing tooth stains and discoloration. It may even lead to permanent staining if frequently used. 6. Smoking increases the plaque build-up in your mouth. If plaque is not removed regularly by brushing and flossing, then it can harden into tartar. 7. Smoking not only puts the life of smokers in peril but also affects the oral health of everyone around them.
