Smoking

Smoking and other tobacco products can lead to gum disease by affecting the attachment of bone and soft tissue to your teeth.

This interference makes smokers more susceptible to infections, such as periodontal disease, and also seems to impair blood flow to the gums – which may affect wound healing.

Brushing right after drinking Pinot Grigio or anything acidic can worsen the damage. Instead of brushing right away, chase it with a glass of water to rinse away the acids!
