Why does smoking cause periodontal disease

How Is Gum Disease Treated? Prescription mouth rinse or medicine. Surgery to remove tartar deep under the gums. Surgery to help heal bone or gums lost to periodontitis. Your dentist may use small bits of bone to fill places where bone has been lost.

Or your dentist may move tissue from one place in your mouth to cover exposed tooth roots. Prevalence of Periodontitis in Adults in the United States: and external icon.

Causes of Gum Disease. How smoking puts you at risk of gum disease Smoking is bad for your health and that includes your gums. Why are smokers more at risk from gum disease? Why gum disease may be worse for smokers If these early symptoms are missed gum disease may not be spotted until it is more serious.

How to prevent gum disease Step one is to give up smoking.
