Cigarettes and Teeth

Why smoking is closely associated with oral health? Obviously it could be easily answered, since cigarettes smoked through the mouth (I think ga no somewhere else to suck smoking ^ ^). It easily we can see a smoker's lips do look darker compared to the lips of one who is not a smoker, why?

In general we know smoking in Indonesia there are 2 types of cigarettes with filter and without filter (better known as kretek cigarette). Cigarettes without filters tend to be quicker to change the color of teeth on cigarette with filter.

Now let's follow the trail of smoke smoking why so many organs of the body "are harmed. When we suck smoking smoke coming out of a cigarette into the oral cavity, a few seconds of cigarette smoke with millions of chemical substances "are in the oral cavity and affects the tissues and organs that are present in the oral cavity including teeth itself. Hot smoke blowing continuously into the oral cavity is heat stimuli cause changes in blood flow and reduce spending in the saliva. As a result of the oral cavity to become dry and more an-aerobic (acidic substance-free atmosphere) so as to provide the appropriate environment for the growth of aerobic bacteria an-in plaque. By itself the smoker at risk larger infected with disease-causing bacteria dental support network than those who are smokers.

The gums are a smoker also tend to experience a thickening of the lining of the horns. The area experienced a thickening of this looks more rugged than surrounding tissue and reduced kekenyalannya. Narrowing of the blood vessels caused by nicotine result in decreased blood flow in the gums which increases the tendency of the incidence of gum disease.

The Tar in cigarette smoke are also enlarging the chances of occurrence of gingivitis, gum disease which most commonly occur is caused by plaque bacteria and other factors that may cause the accumulation of plaques around the gums. Tar can be deposited on the surface of the tooth and the root of the tooth so that the surface becomes rough and facilitate bonding plaque. Of the differences of the research that has been done the plaque and Tartar is more established in the oral cavity smokers than nonsmokers. Disease support network of severe tooth decay, dental and bone supporting the teeth where the date is more going on in smokers than nonsmokers. On treatment of diseases of the dental pendukund chain smoker patients requiring more extensive treatment and more. Whereas in patients not smokers and in the same circumstances enough to just do the standard maintenance such as cleaning of plaque and Tartar.

The severity of the disease arising from medium to advanced level is directly related to the number of cigarettes that sucked up every day how long or how many years a person become smokers and the smoking status of itself, is still smoking up to now or had stopped.

Nicotine was instrumental in starting the occurrence of diseases of the dental support network because of nicotine could be absorbed by the soft tissues of the oral cavity including the gums through the bloodstream and bonding gum on the surface of the teeth and roots. Nicotine can be found on the surface of the tooth roots and results of the metabolitnya the kontinin can be found at liquid gums.

Some treatments are indeed very encouraging at the patient a smoker to smoke benrhenti for a while, during the process of treatment. Like patients in a time of pemsangan implants.

It can be concluded that losses incurred due to the habit of smoking on the health of the teeth and mouth:

1. discoloration of the teeth, gums and lips.

2. Caries on teeth will more quickly formed.

3. the possibility of cancer in mouth very large networks.

4. Smell the breath of clear flavorful cigarette.

5. in the above-mentioned network "in the oral cavity which causes various negative impact on oral health itself like a trigger terbantuknya caries.
