Smoking and periodontal disease - smoking is a major cause of periodontal disease and eventual tooth loss. Research on smoking and periodontal disease shows that smokers loose more teeth than nonsmokers do. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, found 20 percent of people over age 65 who never smoked are toothless, while 41.3 percent of daily smokers over age 65 are toothless. Another study of smoking and periodontal disease shows that current smokers don't heal as well after periodontal treatment as former smokers or nonsmokers.
