Quit Smoking For Whiter Teeth

Most of the advice on this site focuses on the damaging effects of sugary and acidic foods on the teeth. However smoking is also an enemy to all those who want shiny white healthy teeth. There are many ways smoking negatively effects the teeth.

Just like the fingers can be stained by nicotine constantly being passed through them, the teeth can also pick up lasting stains from cigarette smoking. We are regularly reminded of the dangers of smoking to our lungs and general health, but people often forget the damage that smoking can cause to our teeth.

As well as staining the teeth, smoking also significantly damages the gums and the bones that support the teeth. Dentists agree that smoking is one of the major causes of premature tooth loss.

Smoking aids the accumulation of plaque on teeth, which ultimately leads to tooth decay. The chemicals found in cigarettes such as nicotine and tar stick to the teeth, gums, and other places in the mouth, encouraging more plaque to stick around. This is also why smokers often suffer from bad breath.

Saliva in the mouth contains components that actively attack bacteria that causes tooth decay. Saliva is also rich in calcium and phosphates that help to re-mineralize the enamel of the teeth. However smoking dries the mouth allowing more bacteria to flourish. With a reduced flow of saliva, bacteria can quickly accumulate and cause problems to the teeth.

Smoking also decreases the blood flow to the gums, so the early signs of gum disease, such as bleeding gums, are not always spotted until it is too late. Smoking drastically reduces the amount of vitamin C in the body, which is needed to help keep your gums healthy.

Perhaps even more worrying is the fact that smoking significantly increases your chances of obtaining oral cancer. Smoking is the number one cause for oral cancer, and smokers are about 18 times more likely to get oral cancer than non smokers. Not only could you lose all your teeth, you could also lose your life.

Of course we understand that quitting smoking is not always straight forward. Many people have repeated the ritual of smoking many times every day for many years. Smoking is a ritual that is firmly embedded in many people's brains.

That is why we recommend this Stop Smoking Hypnosis MP3. Hypnotherapy is the therapeutic application of hypnosis, and has nothing to do with the wild stage antics that you may have heard about.

Hypnotherapy is a safe yet effective tool to help relax your conscious mind, in order to better access your subconscious mind. There is no loss of control – it is actually a very similar feeling to meditation, or zoning out to a good book or TV program.

It is important to access our subconscious mind in order to make a change in our behavior, as that is where our automatic habits and urges come from. A person who fears spiders often knows on a conscious level that they are harmless, but their subconscious mind doesn't know this, and will automatically trigger a fear response in an attempt to 'save' you. You need to tell your subconscious mind, not your conscious mind, that small spiders are safe. Hypnotherapy can do this quickly and efficiently.

It is very common for people, who began to smoke in their teens, to still subconsciously think that it is cool to smoke. Being older they have usually learned that this is not the case on a conscious level. However their subconscious mind still doesn't yet know this. Years of advertising and peer pressure can drum into your mind that it is good to smoke. Hypnotherapy can literally reprogram the subconscious mind and tell it there are no benefits to smoking.
