Introduction

As nicotine products become increasingly popular among adolescents and young adults globally, oral health care professionals must be prepared to address these emerging trends. Oral nicotine pouches (ONPs), are deemed a rising detrimental public health concern, promoting dual tobacco usage within our youth.¹ Tobacco products such as smokeless tobacco, cigarettes, and e-cigarettes have well-documented effects on oral health.² However, currently the use of oral nicotine pouches is on the rise and new brands are continuously emerging. These products are heavily promoted on social media, intentionally targeting younger audiences and capturing significant interest.³ Oral health professionals must stay informed by reviewing current scientific evidence-based literature on how oral nicotine pouches impact oral health and oral disease, ensuring this information is effectively communicated and disseminate this information to patients through education.
