California Dental Insurance – Chewing Tobacco and Dental Care

Using tobacco can harm your health, including your teeth and gums, in a number of ways such as: tooth discoloration and gum disease to throat, lung and oral cancer and, ultimately, death. Smokeless tobacco users can also experience: Bad breath, decreased sense of smell and taste and they are at a greater risk of developing cavities
