Snus use can increase the risk of mucosal changes and damage to the gums where the snus is placed. These injuries can lead to gingival retractions, i.e. the gums recede and eventually risk exposing the necks of the teeth. This in turn can cause hypersensitivity, caries and, in the worst cases, tooth loss. The degree of oral mucosal damage is related to the number of hours of use per day, daily consumption and years of active snus use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
