Serious Side Effects: Smoking

You know that when you smoke, it can cause serious problems for your oral health and beyond. However, beyond the initial treatable problem, are you fully aware of what can happen when the use of tobacco damages your oral tissues? By considering the serious consequences that smoking may cause or make worse, you may find that deciding your next cigarette is not worth it is much easier to do.

You Can Lose Your Implants

Do you have dental implants? While smoking will not definitely cause implants to fail, it’s known as one of the culprits that leads to this issue. Remember, when you protect implants and your oral health, these teeth replacements are frequently known to remain safe and sound, right where they are, for your entire life! Avoid smoking to make success your reality, rather than the failure of an implant.

Oral Cancer Is Life Threatening

You hear a lot about oral cancer because screenings allow you to detect the oral health problem as it first shows up, so you may treat it. Don’t forget, however, that when you choose to continue smoking and if you catch cancer late in the game, treatment becomes complicated. Oral cancer can result in tissue loss from surgery and can even become fatal. Avoiding tobacco and sticking to preventive checkups can protect your smile’s structure and your life.
