Hi..my dear friend tobacco is a dangerous agent having capability of inducing oral cancer. You must have seen this advertisement coming before a cinema starts in every cinema hall. This shows how dangerous it could be.
So, quit the habit and lead a healthy life. Tobacco can constantly irritate your oral mucosa leading to burning sensation of mouth and soreness of mouth.
Undergo a full mouth check up , scaling of teeth and medications for regenerating a healthy oral mucosa. Cavities also can be treated.
You can book appointment with me as I stay in Bangalore.

Teeth cannot decay due to tobacco, and your twice brushing will not be of any use . the ultimate solution for this is to quit tobacco, it will not only make your teeth clean but prevent you from mouth cancer , it's the most deadliest cancer and 80% of people using tobacco suffer from cancer , I would recommend you to stop using tobacco

Stop chewing tobacco firstly.. Meet your nearest dentist for an examination of your oral mucosa. If u got tooth decay, it needs to be treated.
