Most Macarthur families know that bleeding gums are a warning sign of gum disease.
But here is something surprising: smoking and va**ng can actually hide those signs completely 👀
With World No To***co Day this Sunday (May 31 2026), the Australian Dental Association NSW has shared a timely reminder about what to***co really does inside our mouths:
🦷 Hidden gum problems: Ni****ne restricts blood flow, masking early signs like bleeding gums. Disease can quietly progress without you realising.
💧 Severe dry mouth: It cuts down the saliva your mouth needs to naturally wash away bacteria and protect against decay.
🩹 Slower healing: Whether it is a routine filling or an extraction, to***co slows down your body's natural recovery process.
The good news? Your mouth is incredibly resilient and starts bouncing back the moment you cut down.
