Plaque build up from E-cig?

[Storemyace]

I know this going to sound weird, but I've been receiving plaque building up from vaping on my e-cig... I haven't eaten anything at all and brushed my teeth today about an hour ago... Can e-cig build plaque on teeth, or am I just being a weird paranoid freak lol?

With you being a newbie your freaking yourself out brush 2 times daily and you should be fine lol.

It doesn't have that affect on me. I don't eat or drink a lot of sugary stuff so I get minimal plaque buildup (if I drink a coke or eat lots of sweets I get tons of plaque). I vape all day every day and haven't noticed any changes.

Be true to your teeth and they won't be false to you.

That is a funny one! Speaking as someone who has logged many miles in the dentist's chair.

I'm getting this too and am stepping up the brushing, big time. I don't know if it's still available but there was a product that you would swish around in your mouth, before brushing to soften things up.

i agree. in other words keep calm and vape on.

Been getting this as well, but only certain dessert vapes that are especially sweet it seems. Usually happens after chain vaping on the couch for a while. Not sure if it is actually plaque, or just a thin residue from the vapor. I'd be curious is anyone has actual data regarding this and what it actually is.

I can say my last two cleanings, after switching from smoking to vaping, have been a breeze.

It would nice to see a study about this. If certain e-liquids do cause plaque build up or some kind of residue to build up on the teeth we would be informed to brush just that extra once or twice a day. I hate the feeling of plaque on my teeth lol.

At the risk of sounding like a smart-a, do you need a study to tell you brush you're teeth? If I ever feel like my mouth is nasty and full of plaque, ill give it that extra brushing without over thinking it.

Get a good electric toothbrush and your teeth will feel like you had a fresh cleaning from the dentist every time you brush them...

That's not my point though AveryW, I want to see a study that determines if it's the e-cig causing plaque/residue build up. I'm fully capable of brushing my teeth... But I'd like to know if the e-cig is causing the build up.

Plaque is caused by bacteria, which takes some time to develop. I'm pretty sure it can't happen over the course of a day... Floss...

Brushed my teeth twice so far, used mouth wash, and flossed my teeth. Maybe it's because I've been chain vaping all day non stop? I went through 18ml of liquid in two days.

Interesting. My teeth/gums have improved greatly since stopping smoking tobacco, but I have always wondered about vg and periodontal disease.

My apologies, I see now what you meant in the original post. I took that as you wanting studies to know if you needed to brush your teeth more often or not, I don't what my brain was thinking. I will say from other threads I've read, people who vape a higher percentage of VG say they'll get a slight film in their mouth from it. What's your PG/VG ratio?

You may be getting a sugar buildup, depending upon what you are drinking while you vape. I've tried using a regular toothbrush while on vacation, but my teeth always felt dirty after brushing. An electric is really the way to go...

I'm constantly curious of what types of residues are being left from vaping, both on my teeth as well as in my lungs. To me, this is no different than drinking a sugary soda or eating candy, and yes, I just brush afterwards. The difference is that from those I know that it is a sugar residue, and is one of the main reasons our dentists tell us all to brush. I am more than anything curious which of the flavorings is the cause so I can tell myself "ohh, that's just x" exactly the same way I do with the sugar.

maybe it's the juice you're using. i've been vaping for almost a year and haven't noticed any extra plaque on my tooth.
