They still have all the dangerous micro-organisms and carcinogens.<BR/><BR/>Snus's only carcinogen is nicotine. All the other micro-organisms have been killed.<BR/><BR/>While you may have receding gums from dipping, nothing else he said in his letter including the pH balance in your mouth applies.

The worst part is I used to brush more cause I thought I should since I dipped. Truth is dip actually is good for your mouth as the swede points out. It creates a good PH in your mouth.<BR/><BR/>I might eventually need surgery. Yuck. I'm kinda surprised that there isnt a better solution. I remember reading about a drug whose side affect was to cause your gums to grow. Sounds useful. What about stem cells? I even ready about this <A HREF="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/03/22/sunday/main3960219.shtml" REL="nofollow">medical procedure</A> for a finger. Would this not work on recessed gums?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
