Don’t Let Your Smile Go Up In Smoke (video)

stephenlega • October 25, 2017

If you want to see something really scary this Halloween, you should see what tobacco can do to your oral health.

Tobacco stains teeth faster. It increases your risk of cavities, gum disease, and more serious oral health problems. This is true whether someone is a smoker or uses smokeless tobacco, as noted in this short video by the American Dental Association.

At Total Dental Care of South Carolina, we don’t want you to lose your smile to tobacco. We encourage you to avoid this deadly substance or to quit if you are a user.

We also hope you will make regular visits to our Columbia, SC dentist office for professional dental cleanings . If tobacco has already taken a toll on your teeth, we also offer cosmetic and restorative services to bring back your smile.

To make an appointment, call 803-272-4162 or contact us online today.
