Chewing hard may also damage the periodontal membrane, causing inflammation, swelling and pain around the tooth roots. On the other hand, due to the accumulation of lime and betel nut residues, the calculus becomes thicker and thicker, causing gum damage, swelling, suppuration, exposed tooth roots, etc., resulting in periodontal disease, and eventually the teeth fall out one by one or have to be extracted.

4. Impact on oral mucosa: Chewing betel nut causes oral submucosal fibrosis and leukoplakia, which are the precursors of oral cancer. Its clinical symptoms include difficulty opening the mouth, pain, numbness, whitening of the oral mucosa and ulcers.

5. Impact on the digestive system: Betel nut juice stains the black lips, teeth and cheeks, affecting the appearance, and damages the taste nerves and saliva secretion, hindering the digestive function. Betel nut residue irritates the stomach wall, causing inflammation and even perforation of the gastric mucosa, affecting nutrient absorption and causing malnutrition.
