Smoking can have negative effects on the health of your gums. This study looked at how smoking affects the bacteria in your gums and how that can lead to gum disease. The researchers looked at the bacteria in the gums of smokers and non-smokers over a period of 6 to 12 months. They found that smokers had more diverse and pathogen-rich bacteria in their gums than non-smokers, which can lead to gum disease. They also found that this dysbiosis in smokers happened before the clinical signs of gum disease. This means that smoking creates an environment that makes it easier for harmful bacteria to grow in your gums, leading to gum disease. The study highlights the importance of taking care of your oral health, especially if you are a smoker.
