While these are certainly common side effects of smoking cigarettes, there are more serious factors to consider as well. At the family dental practice of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.njsmile.com\/\">Resnick &amp; Rosenfeld, DDS<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.njsmile.com\/contact.html\">Edison, NJ<\/a>, our doctors provide patients with pertinent information about smoking and its effects on overall oral health.<\/p>\n<p><b>Tobacco\u2019s Effects on Dental Health<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In addition to causing yellow stains on enamel and contributing to chronic halitosis, smoking can cause a variety of problems that aren\u2019t necessarily as readily noticeable. Smokers are, for instance, substantially more likely to experience periodontal disease, tooth decay, and even tooth loss. Plaque and tartar build up more quickly on the teeth, further increasing the risk of gum disease. Gum disease comes with its own list of potentially serious complications, including heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and dementia.<\/p>\n<p>Patients who smoke regularly are also at a higher risk of developing oral cancer and typically experience adverse reactions to any type of oral surgery. Bone density within the jaw is also affected, resulting in teeth that may shit in their sockets and become loose.<\/p>\n<p><b>Reserve Your Appointment Today<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a current smoker and concerned about your oral health, or you\u2019ve succeeded in quitting but still need guidance regarding lingering effects of tobacco, our caring, compassionate team is here to help. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.njsmile.com\/contact.html\">Contact our office<\/a> in <b>Edison, NJ<\/b> today to schedule your appointment with <b>Drs.
