Hello,

I am a chain smoker, and have been trying to quit smoking for some time now. I am going in for a dental implant surgery soon. My doctor asked me if I smoke, and when I said yes, he asked me to stop smoking first, and then go for the surgery. He told me that smoking can have a bad effect on our teeth as well, and it can lead to dental implant failure. My teeth are in a real bad condition and so the surgery has to be done, but I am not able to quit smoking as well. I don’t know what to do to stop myself from smoking. I am looking for some quick ways to stop smoking, and also, I want to know more about this. I have a feeling that my wife has asked the doctor to ask me to quit smoking. So, I want to know the real truth about this. Does smoking lead to dental implant failure? I have found this article http://www.pearldentalburlington.com/blog/dental-care-tips/can-smoking-lead-to-dental-implant-failure/, when I searched for this in the internet. Looking forward to know more on this.

Sarge had periodontal disease (gum disease - degeneration of gums, receding gum line, noticeable/measurable (saw the x-rays)bone loss of the jaw bone at the teeth root zone ...

 

Quit smoking in 2011. By 2013 all signs of active disease were gone (except the damage already done that doesn't regenerate/repair)

 

Gums have been pink, and perfect, and healthy ever since.

 

It's not just the teeth. The gums count, too.

 

 

Easy Peasy

 

 

P.S. - so are you quitting or what?

BTW there is only one way to quit and it is quick as you'd ever want it: put them away and never pick up another cigarette.

 

Ever.

 

Quick as can be.

 

You can do it right now and be quit in less than a second, right?

 

 

 

Easy Peasy
