You are probably familiar with the links between
tobacco use and lung disease, cancer and heart disease.
Current studies have now also linked periodontal disease with tobacco usage. These cases of gum disease are more severe than non-smokers. There is a greater incidence of calculus formation on teeth, deeper pockets between gums and teeth as well as greater loss of the bone and fibers that hold teeth in your mouth. In addition, your chance of developoing oral cancer increases with the use of smokeless tobacco.
Chemicals in tobacco such as nicotine and tar slow down healing and the predicatability of success following periodontal treatment. Using tobacco causes lung disease, cancer, heart disease, mouth sores, gum recession, loss of bone and teeth, bad breath, severe tooth staining and less success of dental treatments such as implants and gum therapy
