Dental issues / brown teeth

[Misty]

I also have been getting brown stains more than when I smoked..but mine are mostly on the inner side! and I also switched from coffee to roobois tea a few months back-
At the last cleaning, the dentist confirmed tannin in tea is a big culprit but even more so with sugar as it makes the stain stick even more!
So if PG or VG are sweeteners, then the combo of tea and vaping could definitly be a possibility for an increase in stains..

.. brushing teeth well with electric toothbrush right after the tea will help if you can remember to do it

Notice the hydroxyl groups in the chemical structure of propylene glycol? That is the OH groups attached to the carbon atoms. This constitutes that it is a SUGAR.

Sorry, but I've taken Organic chemistry, Biochemistry, etc. so that's how I know these things. Total science geek I know.

If you don't believe me, google "glucose" and look at the structure and compare and contrast.

I believe you...people may not call it sugar but I know what makes my teeth hurt....and I know sweetness when I taste it. Call it what they will....I'm not that edumacated (sic) I call it sugar! lol

I have noticed with VG based juice moreso than PG, I do feel the need to brush more. I have always had a heavy hand with the coffee pot, but tea stains worse than coffee, I do like some good China Black once in awhile. Oral dryness can contribute to higher rate of plaque build up which does attract and hold stains. There is also a stain ......ing toothpaste but for the life of me can't think of the name right now, will do some checking. There is also a previous thread awhile ago, I will try to find for some good links.

I had just been to the dentist when I FOUND the ecig. I told my dentist that my President was going to finally make me quit smoking. I bought my last analogs before the tax hike.
Anyway, while I was still smoking, I started using baking soda with an electric toothbrush to brush with. It is the best stain remover. And doesn't cost $6 a tube like Topal!
I used regular toothpaste 1x a day and baking soda 1x a day. It worked. Now I don't get the stains like the analogs, but I seem to need to brush more often since I started vaping, the sugar I suppose.
Try the baking soda!

It's possible with Shampoo. So who knows.
I change shampoo/conditioner every time it empties.
(I'm a girl, what? )

I won't comment on the shampoo because I really don't want people to start thinking I'm gay or metrosexual ha

You must save a lot of money on tooth paste

Hahaha you remind me of my grandfather with that statement. He used to say regarding tipping

"I give them a dollar whether they earned it or not"

Put a little hydrogen peroxide in your mouth and brush with your regular toothpaste will make your teeth super white (if you over do it you'll get white spots on your gums but they will go away quickly). Its a dental rinse anyway.

Yes. Crash will definitely enjoy another science geek comment of mine by saying that anything that is a good oxidizer will remove stains readily on teeth. Hydrogen Peroxide is definitely one.

Hey Crash, were you the guy I read a while back that went drunk to a pub and got 3 girls numbers using the electronic cigarette as a means to provoke conversation? LOL

That's awesome! If that was you .... Haha.

Haha that was me but it was only 2 girls, hopefully the next guy that asks will say 4 girls, and very soon we'll have the legend of crash lol. umm i dunno i dont really pay that much attention to my teeth i just brush one to three times a day and they seem to say in pretty good condition. And i just get them cleaned when they seem to get too dirty. Proto keep the geeky comments coming they're informative

-- no, the hydrxyl groups make it an alcohol which helps explain it as a mildly acidic solvent. I would say that over-exposure to enamel could lead to some of the sensitivity issues
