EFFECTS OF SMOKING AND REASONS TO QUIT

Mira SAYS!

We all know that smoking is bad for our health, so it should be no surprise that it is bad for our oral health. The impact of cigarettes and tobacco chewing can sometimes be irreversible, so be sure to think twice before placing them in your mouth.
Although everyone smokes for different reasons and different amounts the end results are quite similar. The impacts on your oral health are:

Reduced sense of taste and smell
Stained teeth
Stained tongue
Slow healing and dry socket after extractions.

As hard as it may be, everyone needs to find their own method of quitting and if at first you don't succeed, try and try again.  From quitting cold turkey, using medication, nicotine patches, nicotine gum to acupuncture and hypnosis. Be sure to speak to your dentist or doctor to figure out what best will work for you.
