Question:
Do Tobacco pouches cause gum recession?
I am curious if tobacco chew pouches cause gum recession similar to regular chew that is non pouched. It would seem that the pouch would protect the gums but this may not be the case. Does anybody know?
Answers:
Yes it does, the nicotine cause vase constriction of the veins and arteries that cause a disminution of the sanguineous flow and this ends (ignoring the other problems that it causes) in gum recession, the gum recession cause dental movement and the dental movement ends in dental loss, so it´s not only gum recession :S
The nicotine also pigment the gums and teeth, and remove the spots of nicotine in gums is a very painful and annoying process.
