Tobacco Use and Oral Cancer
A Dental Focus on Tobacco and Teeth |
The use of tobacco can cause oral cancer, especially when coupled with the consumption of alcohol. Smoking can also cause a string of events, including plaque build up, tartar, gingivitis, gum disease, and bone loss. This downward spiraling chain of events can be stopped with proper home care, including frequent brushing and flossing, along with smoking cessation. Contact your dentist or medical care provider for information on a smoking cessation program that is right for you.
