Should vapors brush the teeth more often?

[heisenbergNY]

If there is sugar substance in the ejuice, I would think that it would be easier for vape to seep in between our teeth where solid food would be hard to get in. This is why I've been cautious not to vape after brushing my teeth before sleep. Has this been also anyone else's concern? Or should I not worry about it?

I'm more concerned with an airliner falling on my head.

I'll tell ya what my dentist told me about brushing teeth frequently. You do not have to use toothpaste each time because it is abrasive and will erode your tooth enamel. Just use water and the brush between actual brushing. This has been my method forever and I don't have dental problems. Thank God.

Brushing frequently is a good idea anyways; it really helps to keep the flavor alive. This is particularly true with high-VG juices in my experience.

But if you want to vape before bed, just brush 'em again! I keep a toothbrush and glass of water on my nightstand just for that reason (watching TV and vaping in bed, do a water-brush before I nod off, unless I nod off! ;-)

Sugar is bad for your teeth because it promotes the growth of enamel destroying bacteria and other micro-nasties. To the best of my knowledge sugar is not commonly used in(any of mine, anyway) e-liquids. For myself, I don't sweat it. I spent a lot of years smoking, and then with a wad of sugary tobacco right against my teeth for hours. I don't fear the e-juice.

Oh, and DetraMental is correct. You can think of toothpaste like a pumice hand soap...yeah it get things clean, but it's taking a little bit with it every time.

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

Most liquids don't have sugar in them because sugar really likes turning to a sticky, poorly-transformed caramel and gunking up the coil something fierce. Sweeteners tend to be artificial, but there are probably exceptions to that.

Neither VG nor PG promotes tooth decay, but either can leave a film in your mouth that many find unpleasant. Brushing will take care of that.

My hygienist friend actually abraded some spots of enamel off her teeth from brushing too often (four or five times a day), and only ever recommends brushing twice daily with toothpaste, morning and night. Between times, use water only and brush gently to avoid damaging your gums.

Yeah I usually brush my teeth mostly for the breath but Since I dont have a solid evidence that it's actually safer than food I'm just a little concerned. It's a good idea to keep a toothbrush next to my bedside. Thanks guys

I brush twice a day after breakfast and about 1 hour before bed. I'll gargle with water and swish water around in my mouth just before going to bed. During the day while taking a drink of water I'll swish some water as well.

I brush more often because I noticed a film/coating left in my mouth. It helps keep my flavors alive too. I use toothpaste at normal brushing times and just hot water at others. I do rinse with listerine too tho.

Don't provaris ultrasonically clean your teeth when you vape? Sorry couldn't resist

I use a tongue scrapper. You would be surprised to see how much gunk is stuck around the taste buds. If you don't have a tongue scrapper, you could brush your tongue.

But that tickles.

I never vape after brushing my teeth at night, like I never smoked after either. With smoking, I never worried about the sugar aspect of it. But with vaping? Even just straight menthol, I do, because of the sweetness of it.

I was a once a day brusher, about a half an hour before work. After a week analog free, I noticed a "taste" and started brushing a few more times, like 6....

Now its the smells. Anyone know how to brush my nose?

Nobody would use actual sugar in e-juice unless it was a contamination, its just way too much of a pain to vaporize. The base liquids by themselves though do have quite a high caloric content but PG is antiseptic as in kills little bugs that eat it.. if you vape pure VG you might be in trouble though!

That would be awesome...LOL

I can tell you what I have experienced. I went and had my teeth cleaned...after a 2 year avoidance while still smoking. She said they were really bad and required extra attention in cleaning. I went back last week after 2 months of vaping and they were described as really good. My gums actually look way better..more bubblegum pink as opposed to reddish. They bleed less with flossing. I am sure my teeth and gums are improving without cigarettes.

If the flavors have been extracted from natural fruits, honey, etc. Wouldnt it also contain fructose or sugar? I do not mean white or brown sugar but sugar in the natural ingredients.
