Dentist answers

Smokeless tobacco is harmful to oral health. It contains nicotine and other chemicals that can lead to addiction. Its use increases the risk of oral cancer, gum disease, and tooth decay. It can also cause gum recession, exposing roots and leading to sensitivity. Additionally, smokeless tobacco can stain teeth and cause bad breath. Quitting reduces these risks significantly.
