SehatQ Holds a Risk and Dental Themed Webinar for Active Smokers

SehatQ Clinic is part of SehatQ as a health application which is an offline clinic that provides several health services such as medical check-ups.

Klinik SehatQ held a webinar that discussed risks and dental care for active smokers. The webinar as a form of concern for public health was guided by the Head of Marketing of SehatQ Clinic, Yuhelmis Sienifa and Drg. Olga Erauly Hutabarat as resource person. According to Olga, active smokers are more prone to oral and dental problems than people who don't smoke. Some of the common problems are bad breath, yellow teeth, and loose teeth. “The main causes of dental and oral problems in active smokers are nicotine, tobacco, and tar. The reason is, these three substances can change the color of the teeth to yellowish or brown in a fast period of time," he said. Then he added, the risk of smoking for oral health is not only the color of the teeth, the substances contained in cigarettes can also leave plaque which is a place for bacteria to live. “The plaque can cause irritation to the gums and make the teeth fall out easily. Active smokers also have a greater risk of developing oral cancer,” he said.
