Add to OnlywireSmoking has since been identified to be the cause of many dental and very serious health problems. The good news is that your Dentist knows about all those problems. Seek advice from him to help you make up your mind about quitting smoking.
One of the very first problems caused by smoking is mouth odor. People who smoke suffer from bad breath. You the smoker may not know it, but those who come close to you merely tolerate the cigarette smell that oozes out of your mouth and nostrils.
Smoking causes dental problems. It does matter what type of tobacco. Even the hookah water pipes and smokeless tobacco all have the same effect of causing dental problems. The worse of them all are the cigars according to experts.
If you are still smoking tobacco, cigars or even hookah, it is advisable that you regularly have yourself attended to by your dentist so as to save your teeth from both discoloration and decay. But on a more serious note, consider giving up smoking now than later. The truth is that most people I know who gave up smoking did not only improve their oral hygiene, but their overall health got better.
On the other hand, if continue to smoke you stand the risk of have not only dental problems but a lot of other very serious health problems such as hearth diseases, hypertension, smokers cough and even oral cancer or dental cancer to name a few.
Like any other type of cancer, dental cancer is a health problem that spreads like wild fire through to several cells from one affected cell. You dentist know about this and will advice against smoking to forestall the condition.
Your dentist will tell you, if you seek advice that smoking shortens life by as much as 35% of normal span. This is very true for you if you have smoke tobacco for a considerable length of time.
You will not only live longer if you stop smoking any type of tobacco, but your life will be sickness. As said earlier about smoking and bad breath, you social life will take a new turn. People will become friendlier to you as soon as you stop smell tobacco smoke.
I know someone who smoked for years and look very skinny and without many friends all those while.
But the moment he stop smoking, his physical appearance changed for the better dramatically that most people who saw him complimented him on his new looks, which brought him a lot of friendships and happiness.
Finally, I know that it is usually not very easy for one to kick a bad habit, which is why I advice you to let your dentist help you with professional advice. And bear in mind that you can only do that if you are concerned about your health generally by realizing that smoking can cause premature death through several health problems including gum disease and all the rest aforementioned. A stitch in time saves nine, said the sage.
