Does smoking cause gum disease?
Smoking and Gum Disease
A relationship between smoking and gum disease has long been recognized. But only recent reports have revealed just how large that relationship is.
Recent studies on 12,000 adults show that smoking increases the risk of peridontal disease by FOUR times and is responsible for more than one-half of all cases of severe gum disease.
