After How Long Does Dipping Tobacco Affect The Teeth And Gums?
How long would it take for someone dipping tobacco to see a difference in gum or teeth color or quality? Or, how long does it take for these things to develop? Also, what would be the safest way to enjoy dip tobacco? (besides not doing it at all) Say once every other day? Would that give the gums sufficient time to heal and protect themselves from the adverse affects? I would like an unbiased factual answer. Opinions are not appreciated, although suggestions are welcome.

Hi
With your query, STRICTLY CONSUMING TOBACCO IN ANY FORM IS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH. I assume you mean dip tobacco is chewing tobacco or gutkha, these forms of tobacco are utmost dangerous than smoking to the gingival tissues where the nicotine is directly absorbed by the soft tissues leaing to cause pre cancerous lesions ultimately resulting in oral cancer.Now a days nicotine patches or lozenges are available and also tablets are available to quit smoking too. so decide yourself and take wise decision
