In today’s episode, Dr. Tanzania, Ashley, D’Nita, and Sharon are back to discuss everything you need to know about the impact of smoking on oral health. What many people do not realize is that smoking releases toxins that affect the mouth and puts them at risk of oral cancer, stains, and tooth decay. Our hosts bring their expertise today to shed light on how to avoid smoking as much as possible in order to preserve our beautiful smiles.
They begin by delving right into the topic of smoking and the adverse effects it brings not only in terms of oral health but psychologically as well. They then go on to discuss the dangers of having toxins in the mouth and how nicotine and caffeine can affect gum tissues and bones. The team also highlights the impact of one’s medical history which further puts a smoker at an increased risk for oral cancer. The episode concludes with encouragement from our hosts for patients to celebrate their milestones when trying to quit harmful habits like smoking.
