Cigar Smokers' Dental Guide: Tips from a Dentist 

Very informative. Dr. Shalom Fialkoff seems like a very nice and understandable dentist, without any judgement. My dentist knows about my cigar smoking. BTW, I loved joke in the beginning - lightning up a cigar and the Dunbarton :D

Tim, so much respect to you for creating a video that could potentially deter some from smoking yet is factual and knowledgeable. Shows that you have a lot of consideration for the community. Thank you.

" 9 out of 10 dentist recommend... " 😂 loved that

It comes back to a saying my Gran would say. "A little of what you fancy does you good. Too much of a good thing is bad".

Cigarettes and alcohol addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

Wait a second... you trained in college to be a classical singer??? We def need a video of you singing some Opera or something, maybe for 250k subscribers?

Since I started cigars in January, I have come completely off my heart/BP meds and my doc told me to keep up the good work 🤷‍♂️. So every day when I go to the lounge, I just tell the wife I’m headed to my daily therapy session. But I have wondered about the mouth stuff so thanks for the vid.

When it comes to health risk, It's smoker vs. nonsmoker here. I like how Tim was trying so hard to separate cigar and cigarette and the doctor was just like, cigar OR cigarette. 😆

So much like anything else in life, take care of yourself and moderation is key.

I personally think my cigar interests have helped my dental hygiene. I’m more mindful of brushing and cleaning now. I’m only a cigar or two a week type of guy. I’m willing to bet with good hygiene anyone can have one a week and it would never have a meaningful effect on their health.

Navigating the dental landscape as a cigar smoker has long been my teeth-gnashing conundrum. And while I have the utmost respect and loyalty for my dentist, I feel like Doctor Fialkoff drilled down into this smoky subject's nitty-gritty. A tip of the hat to Tim for sparking a conversation that many in the cigar-smoking community will find enlightening, if not game-changing.

Classical singer?! Tim! That’s awesome.

Thank you for posting this! My wife and I were just discussing this. I’m a recent cigar smoker, and these questions have been on my mind.

Super helpful. Thanks to Dr. Shalom for doing this.

THIS is why I watch and listening to Cigars Daily. Tim hits on all the facets of cigar smoking. The good to the bad!!!

This was so ground breaking and something that’s been on my mind for years! Thanks a bunch brother Tim!

Glad you did this video. I've had concerns for awhile and this answered those concerns. Thanks so much, Tim!

Hey man I've smoked a few cigars growing up, but just started really getting into it on my own, and some of your reviews were one of the first I was granted by the algorithm. Obvioulsy, you've got a knack for cigar reviews, and your reviews here are as good as any I've seen presented on any product, but your commitment to educating viewers on HEALTH in this space has gotten me to subscribe permanently. Really appreciate your work!

This was a great idea for video Tim, respect to you for being real and talking to a doctor about the potential issues some of us may or may not have known about and what to be mindful of when smoking cigars.

Tim, I have been a fan and a customer for a long time. Thank you for doing this. This has been a concern for a while.

Fascinating video, great idea for a cigar expert. A wonderful and considerate perspective to your viewers. Loved it, fantastic!!!

Great job.We need to hear that kind of info. They tell me not to smoke, but that’s not going to happen. I brush, floss and water pic, that’s fine.

Another epic video, very informative. Your Dr was a great sport. Oh yea and Steve will love the box you advertised. Nice job Tim.

Kudos Tim and Dr Shalom! Whether you smoke or not, its so improtnat to be informed on dental hygiene.

Awesome that you have this up, as a dentist, who also is happy to smoke a cigar once in a while this is great! Good material for my patients as well!

Thank you for doing this Tim, very informative.

Great topic. Thanks for sharing this. Very informative.

9 out of 10! He was a very good sport and his reaction was perfect - loved it. I often think too many in people in the medical profession are too judgemental which really discourages people from engaging more and following up on a more regular basis. We all know if we did x, y, and z that is the absolute best for our physical health, but other things improve our life experiences and often mental health. And well, we are human, we will never be perfect - so I really like it when a health care professional acknowledges that and gives us their best guidance, but without being holier than thou. ps: Cigar smokers should always ask for a Velscope scan annually - it is an early detection test that costs only about $60 and take just a few minutes to look for pre-cursors of oral cancer - oral cancer is extremely rare in handmade cigars smokers, but it is very treatable when detected early and this scan can show signs up to 2 years earlier than just the traditional visual assessment your dentist can do - so I recommend all add it to their dental care routine. Thank you Dr. Shalom Fialkoff for making this video with Tim!

This shows to me you actually care about us subscribers at Cigars Daily. Fantastic stuff

I started smoking cigars just over 2 years ago at 21, and I've always had good dental health to where i never had braces. Because of poor habit and smoking, I noticed my gums were bleeding more and dont smoke often in the winter, but in the summer, it could be 0 - 3 times a week. Because of this amazing, very informative video, I think I will slow down and maybe eventually quit when I am older.

Awesome video. Thank you both for all the information

Tongue scrapper is on point! Has helped allot for me

Thank you Tim for this amazing content and important information.

Great interview Tim!! Thanks again!!🙏🏽🙌🏾

Very informed. Thank you, Tim.

Helpful video. Thanks for letting us hear from your dentist.

Nice job. I picked up cigar smoking back in 2018, 2-3 cigars a week. Dental hygiene has been my concern. I pretty much do everything suggested, but I appreciate the professional confirmation.

Steve is gonna love this one Tim 😂😂

A very logical and factual solution to the problem, do it in moderation.

Great video Tim. Thank you so much!

See this is wha5 makes you so special you give your followers all valuable information sone excited to hear some hard to hear but you don't shy away unbiased . You are amaz8ng simply amazing

Great content. Love this channel

My kinda dentist. Well done on both ends.

What a hot start 😂😂😂. Love the information in the video!

Went to the dentist yesterday as well! Enjoyed a Foundation Wise Man Maduro a few hours later 😁

Man thank you so much for the info/video…….nothing but the facts!

Thank you for this video, Tim.

I use a waterpick and I always do a pick, brush and rinse with moutwash after smoking a cigar. Thanks for this Tim!

Great video. Thanks

Really well done. You made an uncomfortable subject interesting. Great job

I love the humor Tim 😂😂😂

My gf is a dental assistant, certified through DANBI and so on and she told me about the risks of smoking. She also learned a lot from dentist. yetserday I smoke a cigar for the first in 7yrs and I brushed after I done and scrubbed my tongue. I see myself smoking maybe 4-5 cigars I a year. Also my teeth and gum are very healthy.

I have been smoking 1 cigar every single day since 2019. So far my teeth are fine. I go to the dentist every 6 months and they have never mentioned any changes from me smoking 1 cigar daily compared to before I started smoking.

Great video and nice to see a different angle that is adressed that is very important for us as cigar smokers..great dentist tim very professional not judgmental at all and extremely knowledgeable..exactly what youd expect from years of training and schooling. Top fella. Ive got a dentist appointment next week and will be advising them of my habit and asking to check where they need to because of this video !

Great video and really informative

Fair and balanced. Information is key to making a good decision.

Scaling is a little uncomfortable but its good to know you"re all cleaned up when you're done. If you stay on schedule with your cleanings it shouldn't be a problem in the future. I'm in my 40s and noticed a good case of dry mouth the night after smoking so I'll give that Smart Mouth a try.

Shalom! Such a nice boy. Great video

great info. i always thought about what long term affects smoking cigars would have on oral health.

I experience the opposite of dry mouth when I smoke cigars. My saliva production goes through the roof which based on what the Dr said sounds like a positive thing. He was a sweet guy but still think more study needs to be done on cigars in isolation from cigarettes or alcohol.

Haha you cracked me up with your dentist approves cigars!

Great video!!

Great Content my Man 👍🏾

I’ve been looking for a new dentist in Phoenix. Might check them out. Thanks Tim!

Epic educational information for cigar smokers 🙏🏽🙌🏾👍🏼❤️🌹🦷 thank you Tim!!

Tim! Hello from Cali. Love the channel!

thanks for the info

Appreciate this info.

Great channel. Love the inside video to the dentist. Do you have a link or reference to that study with the FDA saying mortality is unaffected by premium cigar smoking?

Tim is a Legend.

Cigar content that matters and is a different video, great job Timmy teapots

The photo for this video is hilarious!

Tim thank you for this video. Now I have some questions when I go to the dentist.

This is what you can find anywhere in the cigar community. I’ve been wanting to ask if anyone else has white rough spots growing on their gums. I floss and brush twice when I smoke.

Great advice

Much appreciated.

I noticed Tim has returned from the dark side, back to Connecticuts in a lot of his vids lately after a long detour into the world of Maduro. Welcome back sir

I respect you for this!

This video finally convinced me to invest in a water pock. Thanks!

Thank you very much.

This goin to be good. I just did came out the dentist. Definitely a moust do if ur a smoker asap!

Well done Tim! Great content. Much appreciated.

Oh Tim that was classic 😂😂😂

Tim great video on this topic sir. I've been abit worried about my teeth and what will happen due to my cigar smoking. Also to the great dentist that provided us with this awesome info. My question to the good dentist is.. what can we do about Timbo's front dental gap😂😂😂! Jk!! L0ve you Tim!!!!!!!!!

Oil pulling with coconut oil helps a lot.

I’ve been having gum issues so i cut back to 2 cigars daily, very good vid as i still have issues with headaches & gum pockets. I can’t imagine having to give up cigars but i may have to cut down even more. Thanks Tim!

Tim…I really want to talk with you!!! Somehow I didn’t know you were a classically trained vocalist!!! I’m a Juilliard Alumni brass player and we LOVE your channel and cigars!!! Gotta connect if possible!!!!

Great video, many providers just say to stop. Its good to hear objective discussion and how to care for oral cavity if you enjoy cigars

7:10 Yepp... thats me while watching the video 😂 Or any other time i am enjoying a cigar

A classical vocalist! I’m a classical cellist as another college pursuit- what was your favorite composer/song cycle to work on? I love Schubert’s Lieder and have really enjoyed some Strauss Operas from the pit.

Cold pressed coconut oil and or Guru nanda mouth mash helps with staining and fighting off bacteria/ infections 👍🏾

Thanks!

“Whether you’re a cigar smoker or a normal person” 😂😂

I think that you should look into hydroxyapatite vs fluoride. Both will help you mouth but fluoride will prevent mineral absorption in your body smoker or not. Also chew on 1-2 cloves to combat bad bacteria and help with vasodilation

How long should you wait till you can smoke a cigar after dental visit? For Cleaning Cavity Crown Implant root canal Thanks

All I needed to hear is that dentist to say make sure your toothpaste has fluoride to know I'm not listening to him LOL

Thank you Dr Jew !!!

You guys crack me up 😂 🙏🏽🙌🏾👍🏼❤️🦷🌹

Not that it's a habit of fitness, but it helped me stop drinking alcohol, which has been waaaayy better for my health.

After watching this I went to the humidor and picked a nice cigar and lit up.
