Milk itself does not directly cause gum disease; however, its sugar content can contribute to dental issues if oral hygiene is not maintained. Bacteria in the mouth feed on sugars, leading to plaque buildup, which can result in gum disease if not properly managed. It's important to maintain good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and dental check-ups, to prevent gum disease, regardless of the consumption of milk or other sugary foods.

Does nicorette gum cause gum disease?

Nicorette gum contains nicotine, the addictive ingredient in cigarettes. While nicotine does not 'cause' gum disease, it has been shown to contribute to the severity of the disease. Nicotine is toxic to cells called fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are cells that create and rebuild connective tissue in the body. Connective tissue is destroyed in gum disease, and when fibroblast function is impaired by nicotine, the body's ability to fight off the disease is significantly limited. Therefore, gum disease generally tends to be more severe in people who ingest or inhale nicotine.
