专家警告说,由于口干口渴和口腔卫生差,纽约大麻使用率上升,牙科健康恶化。 Rising cannabis use in New York is worsening dental health due to dry mouth and poor oral hygiene, experts warn.

一份新报告警告说,大麻使用率上升,特别是纽约年轻成年人的大麻使用率上升,与牙齿健康状况恶化有关。 A new report warns that rising cannabis use, especially among young adults in New York, is linked to worsening dental health. 由于23%的州级成年人使用大麻,牙科专家强调,药物会导致口干口干,减少保护牙齿的唾液。 With 23% of state adults using marijuana, dental experts highlight that the drug causes dry mouth, reducing saliva that protects teeth. 这增加了口腔、口香糖病和牙糖损伤的风险,特别是当在“食堂”和不良刷牙习惯期间加上糖味的零食时。 This increases the risk of cavities, gum disease, and enamel damage—especially when combined with sugary snacks during "the munchies" and poor brushing habits. 虽然大麻在纽约是合法的, 并且有22%的18-29岁美国人使用大麻, 但牙科专业人员强调合法化并不能消除健康风险, While cannabis is legal in New York and 22% of Americans aged 18–29 use it, dental professionals stress that legalization doesn’t eliminate health risks and urge regular checkups and better oral hygiene.
