If you start smoking at age 18 and smoke one pack a day, how many teeth are you likely to lose by the time you are 35 years old, did you ever think about it

So gonna lose Four to five teeth by the age of 35.

Smokers are about twice as likely to lose their teeth than non-smokers, Male smokers lost an average of 2.9 teeth after 10 years of smoking one pack a day, while non smokers lost an average of 1.3 teeth after 10 years.

Female smokers who smoked one pack a day for 10 years were twice as likely to lose one or more teeth than non smokers. The risk of losing teeth decreases among women who quit smoking.

Smoking always promote periodontal gum disease and tooth loss, One theory is that tobacco may restrict the blood flow to the gum tissues, which would limit the nutrients necessary to the bone and periodontal support of the teeth. Another theory is that smoking causes a chain of events in the mouth that eventually leads to tooth loss. The chain starts with plaque build-up on teeth, which is linked to tartar build-up, which can cause gingivitis. From there, the smoker develops periodontal disease. The final result is tooth loss.
