Smoking Cessation
Many studies have shown that smoking and using tobacco products has a detrimental effect on your teeth and gums. The problem is caused by the fact that tobacco affects the gum tissue cells, making smokers more prone to getting infections in the form of gum and periodontal diseases. Other negative effects of smoking are: bad breath, stained teeth, jawbone loss, shrinking gums, mouth sores, decreased senses of taste and smell, poor healing of mouth sores and hairy tongue.
In addition to this, most people don't know that smoking is the main cause of mouth cancer, with thousands of people dying every year from mouth cancer brought on by smoking.

It has given me more confidence to talk to people and my mouth is more comfortable than it has been for years. The dental problems that could not be rectified elsewhere have now been sorted out. I cannot think of any possible improvement. The customer service was excellent and I would not now consider going elsewhere.
