Received Date: Nov 02, 2024 / Published Date: Nov 30, 2024
Abstract
The health of our gums is a critical component of overall oral well-being. Yet, certain lifestyle habits, such as smoking and alcohol consumption, can significantly impact gum health and increase the risk of periodontal diseases. This article explores the harmful effects of smoking and alcohol on gum tissue, with a particular focus on bleeding gums, which may serve as a warning sign of underlying oral health issues. We will delve into the biological mechanisms that explain how these substances affect oral tissues, present clinical evidence linking smoking and alcohol to gum disease, and emphasize the importance of early detection and intervention. The article also discusses preventive measures and therapeutic strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of smoking and alcohol on gum health.
