Was wondering if you took three- four dips and you have gingivitis, would you still be okay?

Treat the cause: Treat the gingivitis with thorough cleaning. Treat the potential health problem with stopping or limiting the amount of dips. Dips will cause constriction of blood vessel (nicotinic action) causing dry mouth which leads to decay teeth and gingivitis.

Gingivitis: Yes, you will be fine. Stop dipping though because you don't want to put yourself at higher risk to oral cancer. Gingivitis will go away with improved oral hygiene such as brushing 2 times daily and flossing daily. If you are doing all this and still have gingivitis, consider adding a mouthwash once daily such as listerine.

Oral cancer risk: The direct correlation between dip and oral cancer is evident. Time to curtail this addictive habit, have the dentist evaluate the gingival health and make sure that you have no areas of leukoplakia from the dip.

No "safe" tobacco: The nicotine content in one "dip" of snuff can be 4 times that of 1 cigarette. The best thing you can do for your teeth, gingivitis and health is to quit using tobacco; it’s the only way to decrease your risk of tobacco-related health problems.
