From the Paper:

"In my four years at the dental office, I have seen countless patients come in with severe dental and oral health problems that caused them physical discomfort, difficulty eating, and embarrassment about the appearance of their teeth. One man had tremendous difficulty eating, because of the damage from a lifelong habit of chewing tobacco. The tobacco had caused multiple cancerous lesions and resulted in the loss of some of his jawbone. After extensive treatment with several different specialists, including dentists, oral surgeons, and maxillofacial specialists, his ability to speak and to enjoy his food was restored to a level where he could continue a normal life after surviving cancer surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy."
