In dentistry, it is commonly discussed as a risk factor that can change how gum disease looks, progresses, and responds to care. Clinicians also use smoking history to help estimate prognosis (expected course) for periodontal and implant treatment. For patients, it is often mentioned because it can affect bleeding, healing, and long-term stability of the gums."}
