Toronto, Canada (PRWEB), November 6, 2014 \u2013 Princeview Dental (www.PrinceviewDental.com), one of Etobicoke\u2019s premier dental clinics, is adding its voice to the call by dentists for more research and studies on the link between pot smoking and rate of cavities.<\/p>\n
Colorado is one of the U.S. states to legalize pot smoking. Since then, dentists have noticed a spike in cavities from their patients who smoke more than twice a week. This has led to their call for more formal research to be done on the connection between pot and cavities.

\u201cThe point of research and dental studies is to provide dentists with information and knowledge that wasn\u2019t known prior to the study,\u201d says Dr. Janice Mummery, founder of Princeview Dental. \u201cOnce the results of these studies are published, we\u2019re able to implement the findings, so as a dentist in Etobicoke<\/a>, I can have the same options as a dentist in Colorado.\u201d<\/p>\n Dr. Mummery explains that abnormal growths and lesions inside the mouth seem to be one side effect of smoking pot, along with tooth decay, dry mouth, and all the repercussions from eating sugary foods caused by excessive marijuana smoking.<\/p>\n \u201cToronto is certainly one of the most liberal places in the world,\u201d she adds. \u201cAlthough smoking pot is not legal in Canada, being a dentist in Etobicoke, we can safely say that pot does have some adverse effect on oral health and can lead to worse situations if not treated effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n According to Dr. Mummery, the Colorado dentists are also claiming to see more cavities between the teeth, which could be a result of food being stuck to different areas of the mouth due to the inside being dry after pot smoking.<\/p>\n \u201cWith all the information we have on what cigarettes can do to destroy healthy mouths, it would be great to have a fraction of that information on pot smoking, as we can\u2019t assume both products are the same and will have the same oral impact,\u201d Dr. Mummery concludes. \u201cBeing dentists in Etobicoke with patients who rely on us, we need to make sure we\u2019re always providing up-to-date services and advise everyone to avoid any smoking if possible.\u201d<\/p>\n Founded in 1994, Princeview Dental is a trusted dental clinic in Etobicoke<\/a>.
