|  Weird question about the e-cig and teeth I just had a stupid amount of work done on my teeth, most of the damage caused by light snacking throughout the day. Sugar sitting on the teeth causing cavities. I am wondering if the sugars in the flavors, or the glycerin in the vapor would have the same effects as sugar sitting on the teeth? I was going to ask my dentist today but I forgot after I got jabbed with that big needle. 6 times.  |

 | I've noticed that my overall oral hygiene level has improved, no bad breath anymore, much less placque and tartar build up, and an increase in whiteness as well

| My teeth are a lot better now that I'm just inhaling vapour! Cigarettes ravage your teeth and gums!

| I vaguely remember reading somewhere (and I might have got this wrong) that glycerine turns into glucose which is a kind of sugar - but it isn't the kind of sugar that bacteria like to grow in. So in theory anyway glycerine shouldn't be a problem for teeth. Last edited by Kate; 07-16-2008 at 03:45 PM. Reason: typo |

| My teeth are fine at the mo, but I am prone to blowing smoke rings down the pub, so they might get kicked out by an irate non-smoker...

| Kate is right. Another reason I use glycerine. No one can explain it, but glycerine has some anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Yes, it does break down into glucose. |
