Wow, really? I never knew that or would've thought that. Glad I'm not a smoker!

I dont think that I would ever need a root canal. I have never smoked. I have tried to take care of my teeth as much as I can. My gums are a bit of a problem, but not my teeth they are really pretty sound and I guess in part I can thank not smoking for that. It has never been a habit of mine and I hope it never is.
