It has been said that the changing patterns of global health has been linked to changing lifestyles of individuals which may include diet, use of tobacco, consumption of alcohol and many more. Since all these habits are generally seen in same individual at times it is always advisable to abstain from such habits. Smoking in addition causing general health problems also causes severe gum problems and irritation. Smoking is a severe irritant to gums and mucosa. It also causes nicotine to deposit on the surfaces rendering the tooth surfaces rough. A tooth surface generally should be absolutely smooth without any debris on top of it. So that it is absolutely self cleansable. Nicotine makes the tooth surface rough and in such situations food debris gets stuck on the tooth surfaces making it difficult for the person to keep a good oral hygiene. Therefore a smoker should always get a dental check up done once in 6 months. Get a scaling and polishing done.
