Is vaping bad for your teeth?

[Fisheeboy]

I've seen a few things around saying that vaping is bad for your teeth. I usually wouldn't give it much thought or credability and even now it doesn't relly concern me. But I am somewhat curious if there is any proof of tooth decay or damage done due to vaping. Regardless, I'm happy to not have smoker's breath or yellower teeth from the stinkies.

Well that guy in Florida last year would probably say YES, but other than having a battery explode in your face I can't see how it can. I do know that your teeth wont stay as yellow as when you were smoking tho'.

So was there some guy in Florida saying he had damaged teeth from vaping? Also, what is the likely hood of batteries actually exploding? Will they actually explode? I have read that when charging you should using a charging bag. this does concern me. I would hate to be injured. I would hate it worse if an innocent bystander was injured by my exploding battery

Hmmmm. Never thought about that. How could it be any worse than tar? When I've successfully vaped and not smoked for 3 months and go to the dentist, I'll let you know what he says.

My Dentist is VERY happy I've quit smoking and is amazed by the improvement in my oral health. Last visit, as a joke, he greeted me wearing sunglasses cuz my teeth were so white highly skilled, cool, open mined guy with a great sense of humor.
He's always been honest and upfront with me and when we discussed vaping at length he told me Nicotine is a double edged sword. On one hand it restricts blood flow yet on the other hand it promotes new blood vessel growth. He believed in the beginning it was more important to stimulate blood vessel growth BUT also suggested I eventually cut my Nic intake. From what he understood in regards to vaping the constant sucking "might" loosen dental work that would eventually need to be done.

Only real harm I could see involving teeth would be metal drip tips. A person with softer teeth could possibly chip one if they banged a tooth I suppose.

I havent heard anything about it being bad for your teeth. Have heard that it can dehydrate you.

I successfully transitioned to 100% ecig use from stinkies. Went to the dentist a few days ago and one of the things he noticed was that my gum health has improved a lot since I used to smoke.

I don't know but I heard that brushing your teeth was bad for your lungs...

Thanks that is great to hear. I love all the positives that come with vaping

Well, cigarettes are horrible for your gums, so it's hard to believe that vaping wouldn't be a huge improvement.

I also find that I brush more frequently when vaping, to taste the flavors better, so that's also a plus for me.

LOL that does seem plausible

That's interesting. I hadn't heard that one yet. I wonder how it could dehydrate you.

PG and VG are humectants...
A humectant is a substance used primarily in foods and cosmetic products to help retain moisture. These substances are called hygroscopic, which means that they are able to absorb ambient water. These hygroscopic compounds posses a chemical structure that attracts water from the atmosphere and binds it to various sites along the molecule.

When we inhale PG/ VG it "traps" the moisture in our mouth, throat and nasal area and thus the vapor. The real problem arises when the body is dehydrated and begins "stealing" moisture from other parts of the body to keep key organs hydrated. Add to that more than 3 cups of java or caffeine based soda drinks and severe dehydration can occur.
I had a convert that didn't believe vaping was dehydrating. I showed him his fingernails- there were vertical rails on them. Told him this was a sign of serious dehydration and his Dr. agreed. He began drinking water/ hydrating and within a couple of months his fingernails returned to normal...he's now a believer. Ask any chemist and they will tell you the same. I drink 3+ liters of water per day.

The batteries are pretty safe from what I've read. They are mostly LI ion batteries, the same used in cell phones and laptops chemically speaking. Be reasonable with them, and the pay should be perfectly fine.

Wow thank you for that wonderful info. Makes sense now. I need to be drinking more water. This is a serious issue. Thanks again for the info

I heard that all h**l breaks loose with your teeth and gums when you quit smoking cigarettes.

That's what I also figure. Just use some common sense and be safe. There are just so many horror stories out there. It's too bad people perpetuate bad propaganda about vapes

Was that your experience? It kinda seems like that makes sense and might be the case for some people

And further to this, it's well established that chronic dry mouth can lead to tooth decay. So yes - be sure to stay hydrated!
