Hi! Fairly new to vaping(3 months-ish,) but I've been caught up in the culture that exists as a part of it and, like many of you, I've become incredibly passionate about its positive impact on my life. Glad communities like this exist!
One of the reasons I made the decision to transition was my dental health, specifically my periodontal disease, which has cost me two teeth and severe gum recession for pretty much the entirety of mouth(pocket depth ranges from 3-7.) I'm on a prescribed oral rinse and use biotene to help combat the dry mouth that has cropped up since I started vaping. I haven't gone beyond two cleanings a year(insurance will only cover two,) but I'm probably going to get another root scaling in the near future.
While my oral hygienist seems very encouraging about the change from analogs to vaping, I can't help but be concerned with the increase in gum bleeding as well as overall dental soreness I've had since I switched. I'm reaching out to see if anyone else has had these issues while treating advanced periodontal infection and what they've found works for them. Obviously I'm fighting hard to save the teeth I have left and i don't want to give up vaping if it all possible. Any and all advice/stories would be greatly appreciated!
