Tobacco and dental health

You probably already know that tobacco is bad for your teeth. It causes many health problems such as infertility, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. But what damage does tobacco cause to your mouth, gums, and teeth? Smoking can lead to bad breath, tooth staining, periodontal disease, tooth loss, and oral cancer.

Bleeding gums

Bleeding gums can be caused by overbrushing, but it can also be a sign of periodontal disease. Gum disease is a common condition that affects the tissues around the teeth.

Diabetes

The presence of these oral manifestations can lead to discomfort and/or oral pain, impeding proper nutrition; they can also worsen the prognosis of diabetes, as they frequently alter, impact, and aggravate processes affecting certain organs. It is very interesting to note that awareness of these manifestations can alert the dentist to the existence of an undiagnosed diabetic patient.

Sensitive teeth

Tooth sensitivity isn't something you should have to endure, and in most cases, it can be easily treated. Sensitivity can be treated and usually cured, but if left untreated, it's likely to worsen over time.

Tooth decay

Tooth decay can cause pain and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Tooth decay is damage to the surface of the teeth, or enamel, caused by acids.

Periodontal disease

Periodontal disease (gum disease) is a common condition that affects your teeth and gums. It means inflammation, infection, or pain in the soft tissues surrounding your teeth.
