Let's talk about the smoker's dilemma today, but we're only focussing on oral health and don't want to encourage a fundamental discussion. Smoking is a habit that significantly affects not only your general health, but also your oral health. As a smoker, you face particular challenges when it comes to caring for your teeth and gums. In this blog post, you will learn more about the risks of smoking for your oral health - which you are probably already aware of - and receive valuable tips on how our emmi-dent ultrasonic toothbrush can help you overcome these challenges.

 

The risks of smoking for your oral health

You know; smoking increases the risk of numerous oral problems, including:

• Discolouration of teeth: Tar and nicotine in tobacco smoke can lead to unsightly yellow or brown stains on the teeth.
• Gum disease: Smoking impairs blood circulation in the gums, which increases the risk of gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
• Bad breath: Smoking causes bad breath and can lead to permanent odour nuisance.
• Increased risk of developing oral cancer: Smokers have a significantly higher risk of developing oral cancer.

 

Special care tips for smokers

Once you have realised the health problems caused by smoking, you will also know that it is all the more important for you as a smoker to establish an effective dental hygiene routine:

1. Brush your teeth regularly: Brush your teeth at least twice a day to remove plaque and bacteria.
2. Use an ultrasonic toothbrush: Our emmi-dent ultrasonic toothbrush is particularly effective at removing discolouration caused by smoking. Thanks to its gentle cleaning action, it is also ideal for sensitive gums.
3. Use dental floss: Supplement brushing with dental floss to remove plaque and food debris between the teeth.
4. Mouthwash: An antibacterial mouthwash can help fight bacteria and freshen breath.
5. Regular dentist visits: Have your teeth professionally cleaned and checked regularly.
