🚭 Smoking & Your Oral Health 🚭
Smoking doesn’t just affect your lungs — it can seriously impact your teeth, gums, and overall oral health too.
Here’s what smoking, va**ng, and ho**ah use can do to your mouth:
🦷 Stain teeth yellow or brown
👅 Dull your sense of taste and smell
😮 Cause chronic bad breath
🩸 Increase risk of gum disease and bleeding gums
🦴 Lead to bone loss and loose teeth
❌ Increase the risk of tooth loss
⚠️ Raise the risk of oral cancer, throat cancer, and other serious health conditions
Did you know?
Ho**ah smoking can expose you to as much smoke as 100 ci******es, and va**ng products may contain harmful chemicals, heavy metals, and high levels of ni****ne.
The good news? Quitting smoking can greatly improve both your oral and overall health. Your dental team is here to support you every step of the way!
