There are mouths that tell stories that people do not have the courage to say aloud, highlighting how tobacco affects teeth.<\/p>

These are stories of habits that began by impulse, of cigarettes that fit so well into the routine that they became invisible, of attempts to stop that were lost between difficult days. But the truth is that tobacco has never gone unnoticed, it was just silent.<\/strong> <\/p>

In the mouth, leaves deep marks. Some are seen in the mirror; others only the dentist can read.
And that\u2019s almost always how we realize that something has changed: a tooth that darkened too quickly, that new sensitivity, the gum that “came down”, the bad breath that doesn\u2019t go away, the impression that the teeth are no longer as firm as before.<\/strong> <\/p>

It is at this moment that the question arises that many patients ask in their first visit to the clinic:
“Am I still in time?<\/strong><\/p>

As a word of comfort and courage and encouragement we can say: yes, it is still time, but it is not worth waiting any longer <\/strong>because, after all, the more time passes, the more it is wasted, and it is not only a matter of money, as you will realize with this article.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
