If you are a smoker or vaper, you need to consider the following:
- Try to quit smoking. Speak to your dentist regarding smoking cessation and its benefits. One can also call Quitline for guidance and support.
- Try slowly reducing the number of cigarettes you smoke to start with.
- Clean your teeth and gums twice a day with dentist-recommended toothpaste. Your dentist, Dr. Desai, can recommend which fluoride toothpaste will best suit your needs. If you are at high cavity risk, your dentist may also recommend prescription fluoride toothpaste.
- Visit your dentist every 6-12 months. They can provide guidance and advice on how to deal with your teeth and gum issues.
- Avoid having a dry mouth by staying hydrated and chewing sugar-free gum.
- Limit alcohol and other use of recreational drugs.
