Smoking
turns your teeth yellow, but it can be much more damaging than that.
"Using
any form of tobacco can harm your teeth and gums in a number of ways,"
says Halpern.
"It can
cause throat, lung, and mouth cancer, and even death. Additionally, the tar
from tobacco forms a sticky film on teeth, which harbors bacteria that promote
acid production and create irritating toxins, both of which cause gum
inflammation, tooth decay, and loss."Cosmetic Dentistry Tinley Park
