Helping you improve your dental health by kicking the habit.
Research has revealed that smoking and using tobacco products can make you more prone to developing gum disease as it increases your vulnerability to infection. Smoking can also cause bad breath, stained teeth, jawbone loss, shrinking gums, mouth sores that are slow to heal, and a decreased sense of taste and smell.
Smoking is also the chief cause of mouth cancer, an increasingly prevalent disease that affects thousands of people every year in the UK alone.
As dental professionals, it is our job to let you know about the risks from smoking and give you the information and support to help you quit. If you cut down on using tobacco products, your oral health will quickly benefit. If you do smoke, it is vital that you attend regular check-ups so we can help you maintain good oral health and offer smoking cessation tips and support.
