I have two fake teeth (dental implants) with no bone graphing, i smoke weed every day and I am wondering if I am damaging my health or if it doesn't matter.
Answer: Smoking and Dental Implants Smoking in general (cannabis or cigarettes) increases the possibility of implant failure. When working to maintain a healthy oral lifestyle, it is important to consider your diet, how many times you brush your teeth, and your day to day habits. The usage of cannabis, especially daily increases your chances of gum disease and failed implants. In turn this can make your teeth fall out or become so severely damaged they will need to be removed.

Answer: Marijuana and Dental Implants Long term smoking will affect the health of your implants regardless of the type of smoke. I would look into other options, the patch for example, and make sure you stay up to date with routine cleanings and exams. If you are unable to quit, be sure to spend extra time on your teeth at home. Consult with your hygienist/dentist on their experiences with smokers.

Answer: Smoking Marijuana Effect Dental Implants Smoking marijuana is not good for your health. Also smoking affects the health of the teeth and oral tissues. If you recently have a dental implant then it is recommended to avoid smoking as it will decrease the life of your implants.

Answer: Marijuana and Dental Implants It's not a good idea to smoke marijuana especially before any surgical procedures in the mouth. Cannabis can be associated with a decrease in the salivary flow, alteration in new bone formation, as well as the possibility of stomatitis (inflammation of the oral tissues).
