How has marijuana affected your dental health?

[maria.augustt]

I've been smoking marijuana since 2017 and in that time I've had to visit the dentist twice as much as before.
I don't know, and maybe that's not the reason, but if anyone has a similar problem, post about it here.

Many people fear going to the dentist, but avoiding dental check-ups can lead to more significant problems in the future. Regular visits to the dentist can help detect oral health issues early, preventing them from worsening and potentially requiring more invasive treatment. Dentists also provide education on proper brushing and flossing techniques, which can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Don't let fear keep you from the dentist's chair; it's essential for your oral and overall health, especially from https://nolanridgedental.ca/restorative-dentistry-services/

Studies suggest that marijuana use can lead to dry mouth, increased risk of gum disease, and tooth decay due to sugary snacks consumption.

BS. Life experience has taught me that if you take care of your teeth they are fine. Cannabis use has no correlation with gum disease or tooth decay. 

If you have no knowledge then stay silent. Otherwise you are just a wrong parrot.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's not uncommon for frequent marijuana use to affect dental health, especially due to factors like dry mouth and increased risk of cavities. Visiting the dentist more often could be a proactive step to address any potential issues early on. It's essential to maintain good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing regularly, to help mitigate any negative effects.
