Smokeless tobacco poses some of the same threats to your oral health as cigarettes do. Repetitively using this kind of tobacco irritates the gums, which can cause the tissue to recede. Once the tooth roots are exposed, you are at a higher risk for gum disease, tooth decay, and sensitivity to hot and cold.

 

One of the most dangerous side effects of using smokeless tobacco, though, is an increased risk for oral cancer. Check out this video to learn more about what tobacco can do to your teeth and gums.
