Tobacco And Oral Health
March 23, 2009
The aspect of oral health can be no more neglected. The issues and complications concerning oral health are increasing with each day. The increasing number of patients suffering from oral problems has prompted even the World Health Organization to work in this direction.
In its observation, the World Health Organisation has expressed that the root cause of many chronic oral diseases is the consumption or use of tobacco. For most of the chronic oral diseases, tobacco is a risk factor.
The world organization categorically pointed that oral cancer, periodontal disease are usually caused by tobacco consumption. Likewise, even congenital defects in children are usually occurred if their mothers smoke during pregnancy.
Now, let me give you some facts and figures about tobacco’s destructive impact upon oral health and how this will pose surmounting challenge for the world population in coming days. According to the World Health Organisation report, one-third of the world’s adult population use tobacco directly or indirectly in the world. The cruel truth is that half of the populations, who use tobacco, die pre-maturely.
This global health organization also estimates that around 4.9 million people have already lost their lives in 2000 due to the impact of nicotine for which tobacco is one of the main resources. It has warned that the number of death toll will increase sharply in coming years. The casualties due to tobacco are very high in developing countries like India.
The main reason of giving you a brief idea about tobacco and its impact upon our health is that I want everyone of us should be aware about these facts, so that we can say a stern no to use of tobacco. We should say no to any kind of consumption of tobacco, even when someone just next to you smoking or consuming this deadly ingredient.
