First impressions are never forgotten.
Let me tell you, your smile tells a lot about your personality, health care, economical status and even social behaviour.
Quit Smoking.. change your life!!
People that usually smoke (30 or more cigarretes per week), tend to ruin their dentures easily, and obviusly have more stains than other people, the skin on their faces ages and looses clarity and shine, and they increase oral cancer risk, cardiac and vascular disease. The tooth enamel weakens and if they have parafuntional problems (grinding or clenching, bruxism) it will break. Gingiva also inflamates and bleeds. Infections are common and more severe than a non smoker person. Oral breath gets worst and plaque increases and cavities grow. Their tooth color becomes yellow towards brown and with time gray.
People that usually smoke less than 30 cigarretes per week (but daily) will have changes in their mouths.
Not as severe as stated before, but, associated with a poor hygiene and not regular visits to the dentist, will have for sure severe oral problems with time.
You may say, well if I do smoke but have the culture, time, oral hygiene and money to visit the dentist regularly and atend any problem quickly, my oral health won´t deteriorate that much!! it`s true. But this is really rare..even betwen doctors..
Youthful smile forever!!
The new Biomimetic approach, that is, the idea that the intact tooth in its ideal hues and shades, and perhaps more importantly in its intracoronal anatomy and location in the arch, is the guide to reconstruction and the determinant of success. The approach is basically conservative and biologically sound. Return to full fuction and esthetics by the new cosmetic treatments that allow to create the most of your smile.
