    Break Your Smoking Habits!

    By Ramy Bahu, DDS | Dentist, Uncategorized | Comments are Closed | 13 July, 2014 | 0

    There are many health risks associated with smoking and chewing tobacco. Tobacco products can lead to heart disease, stroke, and cancer, among many other complications. Your oral health is also largely put at risk when you choose to smoke or chew tobacco. You should be aware of the oral health complications associated with the use of tobacco products.

    First, tobacco products leads to bad breath and tooth discoloration. It also leads to increased build-up of plaque and tar on your teeth, and you are put at a higher risk for periodontal disease. Smoking interferes with normal functioning of your gum tissue cells, putting you at a greater risk for infections. Tobacco also takes a toll on your enamel, making your teeth more vulnerable to cavities. You will need to undergo emergency care from your dentist Streeterville due to these complications, which can be more costly than preventive care.

    Smokeless tobacco is very dangerous to your mouth. It irritates your gums and causes them to recede. This could lead to the exposure of your teeth’s roots, making eating and drinking uncomfortable. The sand and grit within most chewing tobacco can also wear down your teeth and take a big toll on your smile. Your dentist Streeterville Chicago recommends abstaining from chewing tobacco in order to maintain a healthy mouth.

    It’s not too late to turn it around. Although smoking and chewing tobacco can be detrimental to your smile, you can regain a healthy mouth if you take the proper steps. With the help of your dentist in Streeterville, you can begin to restore any damage you may have done to your oral health. You can explore treatment options that are right for you, and you can begin to lead a healthier lifestyle.

    Most importantly, you should practice good oral hygiene. Make sure you brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and regularly visiting your dentist in Streeterville Chicago. Your dentist will help you protect your smile by giving your mouth a deeper clean than you could achieve alone, which is especially critical if you have been using tobacco products. Your dentist wants you to be healthy, and taking steps to quit using tobacco products is instrumental in this.

    Found Dr. Bahu through ZocDoc and scheduled an appointment as a new patient. From the confirmation of my appointment, handling my insurance to guiding me through the labyrinth of hallways, all of my expectations were exceeded before I even sat in the dentist's chair. His dedicated staff made every assurance that I was comfortable and was informed of every procedure that was taking place as a new patient. I'm confident that Dr. Bahu and his team have the experience and expertise to make every visit an enjoyable one!

    Dr. Bahu and his staff have created a warm and relaxing environment that makes going to the dentist an enjoyable experience. The front office staff are extremely courteous and always greet patients with smiles. Laura takes extra care in providing a very thorough and comfortable cleaning while showing sincere interest in her patients – not just their teeth. Dr. Bahu delivers care with utmost professionalism. He clearly explains what he observes during an exam and, if needed, provides reasonable recommendations for treatment while being genuinely friendly and respectful. I am very fortunate to have found Dr. Bahu and his staff almost 12 years ago.
