Alcohol Mouth Damage…

Why? Repeated use causes cell damage in the mouth and esophagus. The epithelial cells begin to mutate and become altered. These altered calls can then become cancer cells and lead to a tumor. Oral cancer has a 75 percent survival rate. Regularly drinking alcohol also causes tooth fractures due to the repeated changes in fluid dynamics of enamel. Alcohol confuses the tooth and can cause micro-fractures. These fractures can spread and lead to other more serious dental problems such as bone and gum infections and cold sensitivity.
