Smoking

The health benefits of giving up smoking are well known.  Doing it is the difficult bit!!

  1. Reduced risks of oral cancers, including cancer of throat, larynx
  2. Better gum health - greater chance of retaining teeth for life
  3. Improved appearance - less staining on teeth
  4. Fresher breath
  5. Less decay

And that’s just the dental benefits.
