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.

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.
