Many people have oral health problems. However, tobacco use exacerbated problems already present in many patients. Several studies have been carried out on this question. The effects of tobacco consumption on the oral cavity and how chewing tobacco is detrimental to the overall health of a patient will be discussed in this article. According to an oral health care study, an age group more susceptible to the effects of tobacco is sixty-five and older. This is due to the thinning of the mucosal layers as a person ages. Older adults were found to be edentulous or had more teeth that were decayed, missing, or requiring extraction. Additionally, children aged fifteen to eighteen were more susceptible to cavities. Many hygienists have performed fissure sealants in an attempt to reduce the development of caries in children (Umer & Umer, 2011). The effects of chewing tobacco are widespread among all users. Oral lesions develop and cause many different forms of damage to the oral mucosa. These lesions include melanosis, malignancy, speckled leukoplakia and fibrosis of the oral submucosa (Chandra & Govindraju, 2012). However, chewing tobacco can cause other problems such as gingival recession and sensitivity, tooth drift, tissue damage and abrasion causing tooth wear (Nagarajappa and Ramesh, 2012). The severity and number of lesions were directly proportional to the patient's perpetuation and persistence in chewing tobacco. Periodontitis is twice as likely in smokeless tobacco users as in non-smokers (Amjad, Ali, Dastgir Bhatti, & Chaudhry, 2012). Tobacco consumption can increase the deterioration of the oral cavity. This includes tissue, decayed teeth, oral lesions, caries and tartar (Amjad et al, 2012). Chewing tobacco causes high attrition and paper loss......h or if an effort is made to improve oral health. This question is relevant because dental professionals should be able to detect and notice changes in the oral cavity.
