What Are The Side Effects Of Nicotine Pouches?How Does Smoking Affect Oral Health?

How does smoking affect oral health?

Most people now recognize that smoking is bad for your health. Smoking can cause several different physical problems and in some cases fatal diseases. However, many people do not realize the damage smoking can do to the mouth, gums, and teeth. Smoking can lead to tooth stains, gum disease, tooth loss, and more serious conditions such as oral cancer.

Why do teeth become stained?

One of the effects of smoking is that the nicotine and tar in tobacco cause teeth to stain. Smoking can quickly turn teeth yellow and heavy smokers often complain that after a few years of smoking, their teeth are essentially brown.

How does smoking affect the gums and teeth?

Smoking can also make gum disease worse. Smokers are more likely to form plaque-containing bacteria that can lead to gum disease. Smoking causes a lack of oxygen in the blood and infected gums do not heal, so it affects the gums. Smoking causes smokers to form more plaque than non-smokers and gum disease worsens more quickly. Gum disease remains a significant cause of tooth loss in adults.

What are the side effects of nicotine pouches?

Unfortunately, researchers do not yet know the long-term health effects of nicotine pouches and ingots.

The lack of long-term data means that researchers are not sure what the health risks of nicotine pouch exposure are.
