Is Swedish snus bad for your teeth? (not gums)

I'm already monitoring my gums, haven't had any increased redness or pain since using snus for the past couple weeks a few times a day.

Is tobacco alone considered bad for your teeth? More specifically, Swedish snus? Is there anything in it that can actually rot your teeth or do anything more harmful than a little staining?

I'd imagine it can't be any worse than someone who drinks soda everyday...

Swedish snus content salt and that is good for your gum . Scientific fact ask your dantist about salt

I've heard salt and warm water kills bacteria which causes gum inflammation but wasn't sure if Swedish snus contained anything else which could rot your teeth.

there's actually a few dental procedures done with salt for strenghtening the gums and whitening the teeth.....
you can do it at home with raw sea salt.

I've also read, somewhere, that the alkalinity in snus is good for the teeth.

I've watched this closely for quite some time, as I am always afraid my teeth will fall out. My conclusion is that snus is the BEST thing i've ever done for my oral hygien. I don't know if it's bad for your teeth, but my teeth have IMPROVED since I started, taht much is evident. I got a shiny white grill and it seems to be getting whiter, which is odd because I was expecting staining. Not sure if this has to do with the fact that I brush regularly and use mouthwash a lot, but from what I can tell my teeth are as strong and white as ever, and even after not having gone to the dentist for a few years I am still cavity free and in good oral health.

It's my opinion that the salt kills all the bad germs, because while my breath be stinkni sometimes, my teeth are always white and healthy, so not sure what component of the snus is helping but it is certainly treating my mouth a lot better than dip did. If I didn't know any better I would say that snus has repaired some of the damage I had from dipping.

Wow We could use this coment in instead of Warning labels

Snus use is not associated with cavities, loosening of teeth, or tooth loss.

Bacteria doesn't survive if there's salt around.

Northerner purified has baking soda that is supposed to whiten teeth.

The pH in Swedish snus actually creates an environment in your mouth that is unfavorable for dental caries to grow. Dental caries are the culprits that cause real dental issues. Swedish snus doesn't contain sugar, which is the MAIN culprit in American dip/chew that causes your teeth to fall out. The ONLY negative impact Swedish snus can have on oral hygiene is the potential for your gums to recede. However, you can also cause your gums to recede by brushing your teeth to vigorously, and some people just have a genetic predisposition for gum recession. So Swedish snus in my opinion is a non issue or even a positive when it comes to dental health.

Snus certainly hasn't been bad for my teeth. Since I've been using my dentist has said my teeth have been damn near the best she's seen.

This is all great news and comforting haha. I was more paranoid with my teeth falling out with this than lung cancer with smoking. Stupid I know, but having dental work done is number one on my fear chart. I've had some fillings, no big deal, I mean the real dental work.

I take care of my gums, that's for sure. Floss, mouthwash, brush with a special fluoride toothpaste all twice a day. I have some minor gingivitis but that is improving ever since I stopped smoking, and so far snus doesn't seem to prevent my gums from becoming normal again.

I say drinking soda is FAR worse for your teeth than snus then. Good thing I gave up soda The only sugary drink I have is my morning coffee. Normally 1 or 2 mugs. The rest of the day it's strictly milk, (sometimes chocolate milk), water, flavored water with no added sugar, and orange juice.

The best decision I've made in a while besides giving up smoking is giving up soda. I used to drink about 6 cans a day, that's how I got 7 cavities. Had those filled and never looked back at that shit AKA soda.
