"Our study has shown that men have almost twice the risk of having root canal treatments if they smoke cigarettes, compared to men who never smoke," Kaye said, in the teleconference. Kaye is a professor in the department of health policy and health services research at Boston University's Goldman School of Dental Medicine. Do you smoke?

Friday, October 24, 2008Cosmetic Dentistry and Smoking - Not a Good CombinationWe all know smoking is bad for you, but did you know that smoking may keep you from attaining that perfect smile you've always wanted? We all know that the tar in cigarettes makes teeth turn yellow and smoking causes periodontal disease. But, if you're a smoker, it can also preclude you from certain cosmetic dental procedures such as implants and teeth whitening. Dental implants work because they fuse with the jawbone. Smoking inhibits implant-to-bone integration (osseointegration). Smoking also causes periodontal disease (gum disease) which can lead to dental implant failure. If you smoke and are considering cosmetic dentistry, you'll need to quit smoking first. Consult a Board Certified Cosmetic Dentist in your area for more information on Cosmetic Dentistry and smoking.
