Smoking not good for your health and not good for your dental implants
According to a study in the February 2007 issue of the Journal of Periodontology, smoking can harm the integrity of dental implants and cause them to fail more often than in a nonsmoker.
Researchers from University of Murcia in Spain investigated if smoking impacts the ability of a dental implant to succeed. They found that smoking is a risk factor with regard to tooth loss and dental implant failure.
