Pictures showing effects of snus (tooth lost)

i suppose its a bad idea to fall asleep with a big pris in , or to snus before you brush your teeth. It's a shame i do enjoy those psychedelic snus dreams!

Snus in conjunction with good oral hygiene is very unlikely to get to the stage where you are going to lose a tooth without you noticing a long time before ... The constant pressure of snus near the tooth-line can give a little gum recession - but in the 7 years I've been snusing I have none ... And I use a lot!

The warnings on US labels are simply because the surgeon general lumps all smokeless oral tobacco together ... And some dip and chew DID cause tooth loss if used without good oral hygiene because it was loaded with sugar ... Stick with traditional Swedish snus and brush after every meal and you will have no more likelihood of tooth loss than if you are just eating regular food! In fact, the high pH of Swedish snus will reduce the chances of mouth bacteria multiplying and attacking the teeth as they thrive in a more acidic environment.

True... many flavors also contain xylitol as well...

Xylitol not only rids the mouth of sticky harmful bacteria, it actually promotes the growth of tooth-protective, non-acidic bacteria. Plaque bacteria use sucrose and carbohydrates from our diet to grow and multiply. They create sticky threads that allow them to attach to the tooth surface and each other to form thick layers and acids that damage teeth.

When plaque bacteria absorb xylitol, they cannot multiply, produce acids, or stick to teeth. Using a snus that contains xylitol means less plaque will form on teeth, and eventually plaque bacteria may be undetectable in the mouth. Xylitol also raises mouth pH and encourages mineral-rich saliva to flow into the mouth. This can protect and remineralize teeth by repairing the deep layers of enamel.

i did meet a swedish chap in New Zealand who had a little snus pocket in his gum, a little indentauion that the snus fitted snugly inside of . He was about my age - late twenties- and had been using snus since he was 13 or so. I am not worried about snus pockets . Emphysema , that's a worry

We all know snus is better than smoking or American dip, but my question is, to the pictures saying you'll lose your teeth if you snus. They never say how much that person snus. When is too much and you see those effects? I feel like they either didnt take care of their teeth and or was an extreme user..

Propaganda son...just brush and floss at least twice a day and no worries imo.

Yes, as you can see the gallery is a bit empty at the moment.
