know, tobacco use is linked with many serious illnesses such as
cancer, lung disease and heart disease, as well as numerous other
health problems.

for periodontal disease.
Research shows . . .
Researchers also are finding that many of these problems occur
more often in patients who use tobacco:
Oral cancer
Bad breath
Stained teeth
Tooth loss
Bone loss
Loss of taste and smell
Mouth sores
A pamphlet about this topic is available in our office, and from
