SMOKING & PERIODONTAL DISEASE
Smoking is directly related to the progress, sobarity and reoccurence of periodontal disease, that invades the tissue that holds teeth in place and causes movement in teeth and can then result in extraction.
The characteristics that smokers need to be aware of are lack of redness, bleeding and swelling of the gums, all of which often mean a delay in diagnosing the problem and consequential visit to the dentist.
Smokers have more serious and faster advancement of periodontal disease, and a lower recovery rate upon therapy, plus the chance of reoccurence in comparison to non-smokers.
the VSmile Piraeus dental team suggest that the patient stops smoking before undertaking treatment for periodontal disease, based on research that this way the tissue recovers equally well with that of non-smokers.
