Does chewing tobacco cause tooth loss and permanent browning?

Just curious. I quit smoking a while ago, and when I'm not chewing the nicotine gum, I use chewing tobacco. Does anyone know what the long term effects are IF I brush my teeth right after using it?

chewing tobacco might as well be a drug because it can still give you cancer.in it it contains something that cuts your gums and then enters your blood stream. ( i think its like fiber glass or something they make instulation out of or something!)just like cigerets it cotains nicotine!it has at LEAST 28 cancer causing chemicals.so useing chewing tobacco is probably the same if not worst then smoking!yes it can cause brown teeth!.....so if you concider cancer as a long term effect then yes there are long term effects!...it can also cause tooth loss!my best advice is quit asap!!!! if you have family and friends ...even if you have no one, dont die because you decided that chewing tobacco is better then smoking...because theyre pretty much the same....only smoking can get to other people!!

yes and yes. it will still be possible to give you cancer of the tongue, lips, inside of your cheeks and throat, so dont ever start it.

have you seen the commercials on television? it would make sense that your teeth fall out.

Chewing tobacco causes a lot worse than browning, it has been proven to cause mouth cancer...that can be fatal! Stick with the nick gum and stop the tobacco immediately!

heck yes... it also causes cancer. you should check out this pic:

yummy.
but seriously, the effects are horrible. and i know for a fact that yellow teeth are a turnoff.

Yep, tooth loss and nasty breath and then cancer. Don't take up heroin to quit drinking.

No tobacco is good for gums it also kills bacteria and keeps your teeth strong and healthy. and o did i mention mouth cancer comes free with it .......enjoy....:)

YES, but more important is that it's been known to causer Cancer!
Think about it, smoking cigarettes is linked to Lung and Throat Cancer, it's made of the same if not similar ingredient's, it is not picky in who it chooses, so why would you not think of this. Brushing will not deter the effects, it may help in a longer time span, when using "chew" all its doing is sitting in your mouth and actually slowly deteriorating the surrounding gums, the bone encasing your teeth, the tooth itself and the jaw bone.
This is not to say "YOU WILL" get Cancer but you put your self at a higher risk.

it the same effect as if you were smoking it but worst.
