People who often chew betel nut will get black teeth, loose teeth and atrophy gums, resulting in periodontitis. Because betel nut fiber is quite thick and hard, it will slowly stab our gums, block our teeth and induce inflammation. When chewing hard, periodontal mucosa will be damaged.

There is another reason. Because it accumulates with calcium and areca nut residue, the stones formed are very hard, which causes great harm to our gums, leading to redness and pus root exposure, periodontal disease, and finally teeth fall off one by one.

3. Damage to esophagus:

Betel nut contains chemicals that can produce carcinogenic free radicals. Some ingredients are nitrated when chewed in the mouth.
