In support of this years No Smoking Day we thought we'd write a short post to provide some dental motivation for breaking the habit.

Not only does smoking increase your risk of developing serious medical conditions such as heart disease and cancer it also increases your risk of developing oral conditions such as:
  • Bad Breath
  • Tooth Discoloration
  • Inflammation of the salivary gland openings on the roof of the mouth
  • Increased build up of plaque and tartar on the teeth
  • Increased loss of bone within the jaw
  • Increased risk of leukplakia, white patches inside the mouth
  • Increased risk of developing gum disease, a leading cause of tooth loss
  • Delayed healing process following tooth extraction, periodontal treatment, or oral surgery
  • Lower success rate of dental implant procedures
  • Increased risk of developing oral cancer

So there you have it, 10 reasons to stop smoking today!  But if that's not enough motivation use the calculator below to see just how much money you could be saving by not smoking, you could use all that spare cash to improve your smile!

I agree smoking does generate a lot of side effects on your teeth and you need to control them in order to be safe and healthy.
