In a release, the Ontario Dental Association says it wants users to be aware of the impact pot can have on their dental health.
The ODA notes there is the potential for oral cancer just like cigarettes.
As well, the organization says, users can be prone to infection because when the THC in marijuana enters the blood stream, it affects almost every bodily system and can weaken your immune system, which can open you up to gum and tooth infections.
The association also warns about dry mouth which can lead to gum disease and cavities.
And the ODA notes "We've all heard about people getting very hungry after smoking marijuana and the traditional go-to snacks usually aren't celery sticks. So be sure to rinse with a few swigs of water after snacking to prevent cavities from developing. It'll also help with the dry mouth."
