There are many reasons why a smoker wants to quit smoking. Apart from the usual lung cancers, now smokers must beware of oral cancer. If you love your mouth, your teeth and you love to eat, you must take note that smoking can cause your gums to recede, the roots of your tooth exposed and losing the ability to taste. I means that your gum is weak, you are going to lose all your teeth soon and you cannot taste your favourite food anymore.
When people lose their teeth in accidents, they rely on the dentures or implants to improve their appearance. However, the problem with implant is that smoking can reduce the amount of blood reaching the implant so the implant might not be effective at all. Smoking does not effect teeth implant only but more than that. Simple procedures such as filling and tooth removal can be ineffective all because of smoking. Antibiotics and other treatments are totally useless for someone who smokes.
According to a study, approximately 32% of smokers need to have the filling replaced, another 10.1% smokers need tooth extraction and 22.5% smokers need dental cleaning. Another fact about smoking is it can increase the build up of plaque and tartar so if you really care about your oral care and treatment, please quit smoking and you will have better oral treatment and the treatment will be effective so you are not wasting your money and time while enjoying a better appearance.
