Does Cigarette Smoking Increase Cancer Risk In Case Of Open Wound In Mouth?
I'm 26 yrs old and I have been smoking cigarettes for 2 yrs now. Today I underwent a dental procedure ( ceramic composite filled in the gaps) in the afternoon and there was a minor wound (puncture) due to the local anaesthesia given behind my incisors and on top of it at the gums. I smoked one cigarette this evening. My question is does me smoking a cigarette when I have this open wound increase my risk of cancer any more than already smoking can ? Anyway am planning to quit soon. Kindly help me.
