According to recent statistics, London's population is nearing a staggering 9 million. Out of these millions, approximately 1.2 million are smokers. That's right; a whopping 13% of London's population light up regularly (read more here). And sadly, many of these individuals are at high risk for developing gum disease (read more here).

Smoking and Gum Disease

Smoking causes a reduction in blood flow to the gums, which weakens their ability to fight infection. This, in turn, allows bacteria to thrive and ultimately leads to gum disease.

As a dentist, I've seen countless cases of gum disease in smokers, and let me tell you, it's not a pretty sight. I recall one patient who had been smoking for years, and their gums were so inflamed and receding that it looked as if they'd been in a boxing match with Mike Tyson.

It's not all doom and gloom, though. The good news is that quitting smoking can have a significant impact on reducing gum disease (read more). In fact, studies have shown that individuals who quit smoking are twice as likely to experience an improvement in their gum health compared to those who continue to smoke.
