By now, everyone knows that smoking jeopardises our health. We know about the risk of developing lung cancer and heart problems. But the smoke from a cigarette affects the lips, tongue, teeth and gums. These are the side effects that smoking has on oral hygiene:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. gum disease: Smoking mistreats the gums in two ways. Firstly, the saliva produces more bacteria in the mouth, which attack the gums, and secondly, smokers have less oxygen in their blood, which slows down the healing process. As a result, the body is less able to fight gum inflammation. As a result, the disease lasts longer and puts a strain on the immune system. Compared to non-smokers, gingivitis progresses and spreads more quickly in smokers.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
2. holes in the teeth: An increased number of oral bacteria due to smoking logically also leads to tooth decay. A smoker triples the risk of tooth decay compared to a non-smoker.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
3. oral cancer: smoking and chewing tobacco can lead to cancer of the mouth, tongue, lips, gums and throat.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
4. bad breath and bad breath: It is hardly surprising that smokers smell bad from the mouth. This type of bad breath cannot be eliminated with a breath mint. Every puff of a cigarette releases 4000 chemicals into the mouth. In addition, smoking dries out the mouth, which can lead to gum infections and sinusitis.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
5. yellow teeth: Smokers have unattractive, yellow-coloured teeth. The nicotine leaves yellow to brownish stains on the teeth, which cannot be removed by simply brushing. Over time, the discolouration settles deep into the fine grooves and furrows of the teeth, so that the stains can no longer be removed even with harder products.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
6. altered sense of taste: Regular smokers can no longer perceive certain flavour nuances in food. Not only does this reduce the enjoyment of food, but smokers tend to over-salt or over-sugar their food as a result. Fortunately, you can fully regain your sense of taste if you give up smoking.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
