DentaBiome: How Cigarette Smoke Impairs Gingival Blood Flow: Vasoconstrictive Pathways and Reduced Immune Surveillance
For millions of smokers, the persistent cycle of bleeding gums, recession, and deep periodontal pockets remains frustratingly resistant to standard oral care. Yet the root cause is not simply poor hygiene—it is a profound physiological disruption in the microvasculature that nourishes the gums. New research reveals how nicotine-triggered vasoconstruction starves gingival tissues of oxygen and immune cells, leaving smoker's mouths uniquely vulnerable to infection and tissue loss.
