Although smokers have an increased risk of gum disease six times compared to non-smokers, but quit the habit shielding them risk their teeth fall prematurely and as concluded by the study published in the Journal of gum disease. The scientists concluded from the University of Newcastle in the United Kingdom that chronic gum disease in smokers significantly improve if quit.
Said Dr. Philip Brayshaw gum disease specialist in the study, published on Monday, "Our study shows that smokers should quit immediately if they want to increase the opportunities to keep their teeth in the advanced stages of age."
Smokers are more likely to have gum disease because of the destructive impact of smoking on the body's immune system. And their bodies become less able to fight the bacteria and plaque that accumulates on the teeth.
And cause bacterial infections of the gums to recede and bleed. In more serious cases, receding gums and erodes the bones that hold the teeth gradually fall teeth or require the severity of the condition being uprooted. Brayshaw said "Dentists concluded some time ago that the condition of the mouth and gums worse in smokers compared to non-smokers, but this is the first time that we conclude that quit smoking and gum treatment attendance result in healthy gums."
The researchers examined 49 smokers suffer from chronic inflammation of the gums for a year. And saw a marked improvement in the case of five smokers who quit compared to the group that stuck to that habit.
The suffering of 15 million in the United States of gum disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia.
And increases the risk of infection with the increase in the number of cigarettes smoked per day.
In addition to the high risk of chronic gum infections, smoking is also a major cause of lung cancer and other respiratory diseases.
