They also offer orthodontics, including Six Months Braces. Everyone knows that smoking causes heart disease, lung cancer and other cardiovascular diseases. However many are unaware of the ill effects smoking has on the mouth, tongue, and gums. “Smoking is poisonous for teeth, especially the nicotine and tar in them,” said Dr. Rebecca Schmorr. “Smokers, especially heavy smokers, are more likely to have extreme tooth discoloration, some teeth turning brown.” While she says that smokers can try teeth whitening treatments, the staining will continue as long as the smoking continues. Smoking also increases the chances of developing oral cancer, gum disease, bone loss, halitosis, and leukoplakia. Smokers are also prone to bleeding gums, which is also a sign of gum disease, because there is a lack of blood flow in the gums.
