Treatments / Preventative dentistry / Quitting support
Smoking cessation.
Tobacco harms gum tissue cells. Those who smoke fewer than ten cigarettes per day are twice as likely to develop periodontal problems, with heavier smokers facing four to five times the risk.
Why quit
Your oral health benefits very quickly.
Smoking is linked to tooth infections, gum disease, bad breath, stained teeth, jawbone loss, shrinking gums, mouth sores, decreased taste and smell, and poor wound healing, and around two in every three mouth cancers.
Once you quit, your oral health benefits very quickly, and regular check-ups let the team support you with ongoing advice.
