Smoking jeopardises our health – it’s the leading cause of preventable deaths worldwide. But you may not realise the damage smoking does to teeth and gums.

Bruxism is a medical condition in which people habitually grind or clench their teeth, and it happens most often during sleep.
Most of us grind our teeth occasionally to some extent, and mild bruxism may not require treatment. In some cases, though, teeth grinding can happen so often and severely that it results in headaches, dental damage, and jaw disorders.
Night bruxism – also called sleep bruxism or nocturnal bruxism – is a sleep disorder, and it often occurs alongside other sleep-related ailments. While teeth grinding commonly takes place while you’re asleep, it can happen while you’re awake too.

As a parent, your child’s health is a major priority, and their oral health is closely linked to their overall wellbeing.
For instance, infection from dental issues can spread to other parts of the body, including the lungs, brain and heart.
