Tobacco Use and Periodontal Disease

Tobacco is very dangerous for health and surprisingly more smokers need to be made aware of its dangers. 29% of smokers agree that they are at an average risk of a heart attack as compared with their nonsmoking peers. Recent studies have shown that tobacco use may be one of the most significant risk factors in the development and progression of periodontal disease. In addition, following periodontal treatment or any type of oral surgery, the chemicals in tobacco can slow down the healing process and make the treatment less predictable.

Now the question is- How does smoking increase your risk for periodontal disease?

As a smoker, you are more likely to have the following problems then the non-smokers:

Calculus (Plaque that hardens on your teeth and can only be removed during a professional cleaning.)Deep Pockets between your teeth and gums.Loss of the bone and tissue that support your teeth.

During a professional cleaning, it is important to get the calculus removed otherwise it will remain below your gum line and the bacteria in the calculus can destroy your gum tissue and cause your gums to pull away from your teeth. When this happens, periodontal pockets are formed that are filled with disease-causing bacteria.

If proper care and treatment is not taken, the disease will outgrow and progress. The pockets between your teeth and gums can grow deeper, allowing in more bacteria that destroy tissue and supporting bone. As a result, the gums may shrink away from the teeth making them look longer. Without treatment, your teeth may become loose, painful and even fall out.

Other oral problems

Researchers also have found that the following problems occur more often in people, who use tobacco products, Oral cancer, Bad breath, Stained teeth, Tooth loss, Bone loss, Loss of taste, Less success with periodontal treatment, Less success with dental implants, Gum recession, Mouth sores, Facial wrinkling.

Now you surely have a reason to Say No To Tobacco!
