Does smoking worsen a toothache?

Smoking can indeed exacerbate a toothache and slow down the healing process. The chemicals in tobacco products can irritate the affected tooth and gums. I strongly recommend avoiding smoking if you have a toothache and visiting us at Royal Dental Whittier for a diagnosis and treatment plan.
