Dental Work (Bridge) came unattached

[jwalsh14]

I was curious if anyone else has had any problems with their dental work. The FDA has stated that e-cigarettes contain diethylene glycol which acts as a solvent. I thought it may have had something to do with my bridgework coming unattached suddenly. I have never had any problems with my dental work in the past.

I was concerned because I have four crowns and one bridge. Can't afford to keep replacing them!

Please let me know if you have had any similar problems.

Thanks.

The FDA has successfully scared you, just as they were intending to do.

One cartridge of the 19 that were tested contained approximately 1% of diethylene glycol. That leaves 18 cartridges that did not have any. And the one cartridge that did have diethylene glycol was made by a company that is NOT the company that makes about 90% of the juice that is available on the market.

And even if you happened somehow upon cartridge with diethylene glycol, I'm not sure it was ever stated whether or not any of it got into the actual vapor. And that is an important distinction, because most of the very few things the FDA found in the juice did NOT make it into the vapor at all.

In short, you almost certainly won't be getting ANY diethylene glycol.
And that which you might possibly get is pretty much negligible in relation to your concerns.

Only certain e-liquids contain diethylene glycol. Most use polyethylene glycol (PG) or Vegatable Glycerine (VG). No one in their right mind would use an e-liquid containing diethylene glycol. Most e-liquid suppliers tell you what is in their e-juice.

My experience with dental and e-cigs as been..Over 75 days ago I had an abscessed tooth that the Dentist said has to come out..but he could't do it as my blood pressure was 231/117. So went to MD, got blood pressure meds, Now blood presure is under control , however the bad tooth is now better and causes no more problem. I'm a lot better now, it was my rheumatoid MD that suggested E-cigs..might be a connection

I suppose if you took a 30mg bottle of juice, poured some in your mouth, shwished it around like mouthwash, let it soak in really good on your dental work and then pried away at your teeth, you might have some of your bridgework come loose and fall out.

However, if you use your juice by dripping it on the atty or filling your empy carts, I would not think there would be a problem.

I've only been on here a month or so, I've never heard of tooth problems related to e-cigarettes.

However, there is a health thread listed on this site--it would be there.

I have several crowns and a bridge. I have been vaping 5 months and have had no problems what so ever.

stay away from any juice that has butter flavoring in it

That has nothing to do with the dental work issue, and there are no (that I know of) suppliers that would ever use that flavoring in their liquids. I have not yet seen a single one.

Just to clarify a (presumed) typo in the above post: It is NOT 'polyethylene glycol' that is mainly used, it is 'propylene glycol'!! 8-o

Thank you for your response. My husband is a chemist, he said the same thing!!

Could it have anything to do with the "sucking". I guess maybe it forms some kind of negative pressure in your mouth.

Why....stay away from any juice that has butter flavoring in it?

Continual heavy sucking is not good for teeth/gums, especially if said teeth/gums are not in that great a shape to begin with.

It concerns me somewhat.

Im not 100% sure on this, but I believ it has to do with "popcorn lung" from the diacetyl found in butter flavoring.
