If you are a smoker you must visit a dentist for treatment, which includes medications to cure any gum infection, teeth cleaning, and proper maintenance of your teeth.

You should also know how to observe and practice proper dental hygiene so as to prevent repetition of dental problems.

The best remedy to save your teeth from the harmful effects of smoking is to quit smoking. Meanwhile, you can do the following:

• Brush your teeth using an ultrasonic toothbrush 2 times a day, especially in the area where you chew, both before and after. Most importantly brush before you go to bed.
• Consult your dentist every 3 months to rule out oral cancer and for professional clean-ups
