E Cigarettes – The tobacco industry’s latest threat to oral health

We often have patients that need to replace their missing teeth with implants.  Unfortunately, if you are an active smoker, research shows that it can lead to implant failure or non-integration.

For some patients, in order to quit smoking, E-cigarettes have been marketed as the better alternative.  Well in the most recent edition of the Sept JADA 2015 (Journal of the American Dental Association) there was a great commentary by Dr. Tomar about E-cigarettes.

I think everyone should ready this article to get a sense for whats really behind this E-cigarette push.
