Teeth Pain from Vaping

[TheColdHandedVG]

Hey Guys!

I wanted to see if anyone has had a similar issue to what I am having now.

To give you a better idea of my situation, I recently got serious into vaping (mods, higher end tanks, rebuilds, etc...). I was smoking cigarettes for about a month while vaping and just recently completely stopped smoking Sunday of this week (about 2 days ago).

When I first starting vaping somewhat heavily (down to 2-3 cigarettes a day at this point) I wasn't really having any issues with my teeth. I would occasionally get some strange pressure feeling in my upper teeth after vaping for a while.

Now yesterday (my first full week day, also work day, without a cigarette) the pain in my teeth got REALLY bad. It is fine all through the morning, and then at work I would start getting that feeling of pressure in my teeth again. Then, while I was in my bosses office going over some work-related stuff it got really bad. It is hard to explain, but it basically feels as if there are magnets in my teeth and there is another larger magnet sitting on my tongue which is attracting the magnets in my teeth. This is probably the best way to describe the feeling. Almost like they want to snap inwards. Just a feeling a immense pressure pulling inward on my teeth.

This happened yesterday and I do not know whether to attribute it to not smoking or to vaping. That is why I wanted to see if anyone has had a similar experience. My teeth are still feeling sore and frail and I am getting that feeling of pressure every few drags I take off my mod.

The only reason I think it would be from not smoking is because I have been vaping for a while now and never had that feeling of pressure this severe in my teeth. It doesn't seem like a coincidence that it got really bad right when I stopped smoking.

I am wondering if maybe it is severe sinus pressure that I am only feeling in my mouth for some reason. Also, a big detail I left out, this feeling is mostly coming from my teeth with old school metal fillings. This is another reason that I am concerned it could also be from vaping, like maybe the juice is doing something to my fillings.

Please comment and let me know if you have experienced anything even slightly similar.

My thoughts.

Vaping is know for causing dehydration which causes dry mouth, headaches etc. Tooth sensitivity to pain increases big time when your teeth and gums are dehydrated. I'm betting since you quit smoking you are vaping more to compensate for the lack of smoking which is bringing you to a certain point of dehydration that is really effecting you now.

Try drinking a lot more water and see if that helps. This kind of explains it.

"This problem often happens when gums recede and/or cementum is not presence. The gum tissue acts like a protective blanket to cover the roots of the teeth. As the gums recede the underlying tooth roots are exposed. They are not covered by hard enamel. Thousands of tiny dentinal tubules (channels) leading to the tooth's never center (pulp) are than exposed. These tubules allow more stimuli like heat, cold or pressure to reach the nerve in the tooth and you feel pain!. Think of your gums and the enamel on your teeth as a down comforter covering and protecting your body from the cool winter air."

I haven't experienced anything like that. I'm sorry you're going through it though, I know dental pain is no joke.

I don't think it is possible for me to drink any more water. I already drink at least 6 bottles of water a day, if not more. I usually go through at least a gallon of water a day, give or take a few cups....

Dehydration is DEFINITELY not the problem, but I appreciate the advice.

I have noticed my gums receding recently though. I always had problems with receding gums when I was smoking, but my gums just starting receding on the top sides of my mouth when I started vaping heavily. Maybe this has something to do with it, but then that would unfortunately mean that vaping is the cause.

I know what you're talking about. More often than not I get just an uncomfortable tension in my teeth with hot spots on the top surfaces and around any dental work. I think it is more related to jawing in my sleep as it doesn't happen all the time or everyday, just some. Jaw clenching and teeth grinding can be a normal experience in withdrawl. I definitely notice a lot more mouth and respiratory issues with dehydration though. I normally drink a lot of water every day, but now I've upped it even more and I feel fine.

This doesn't happen over night or in a matter of a few days though. Tooth decay and gums receding takes time. Months or years possibly.

Possibly the worst thing on earth for your teeth and dental health is [moderated] abuse and even that takes many months and even years of daily use to rot your teeth out. I should know... I was a daily addict for seven years and I have been clean for a little over nine years now. I've had eight surgeries on my mouth, two of which were for having titanium grafted into my upper jaw bones. Two others were for implants. My whole upper "grill" is implants now.

I could be wrong but I don't think a few days of vaping is going to cause this.

To me it sounds a bit like regular dental problems that we all have in some shape or another. See a dentist. I know that dental probs can be very painful. And not caused by just dehydration.

I heard that may be the cause with the whole teeth grinding in sleep thing. But is the pain from grinding your teeth at night delayed until later in the day or sometimes not felt at all? I would say that is definitely the cause if my teeth hurt even the slightest bit when I wake up, but in the morning is when my teeth hurt the least.

As I said, I have been vaping for a few months and have also been having receding gum problems while I was smoking for a few years. So this is not something that happened overnight, BUT it has gotten worse the past week or so. And gum receding doesn't take so long, it usually is a quick process with me. Decaying teeth is definitely something that happens over time, but I can literately go from no receding in my gums one day, and the very next day have some slight receding gums, and then over the next week it gets to the point where the root is half showing.

Just Curious:

I can't say for sure, but when I go to sleep I am usually breathing through my nose and when I wake up my mouth is always closed. I guess the best way to answer this questions is that I do not drool (idk how to spell that) so that might indicate that I am sleeping with my mouth closed.

I'd make an appointment to see a pariodontist then. They specialize in gum care and all the "stuff" delow the gum line.

I have been having strange feelings in my teeth for at least a few years. My dumb ... dentist said I had a cavity in my tooth which had absolutely NO pain and wound up drilling out 1/2 of my tooth because "the cavity was deep in there" and replaced it with one of those damn metal fillings which are 50% mercury (from what I remember) and I have just been having problems ever since. I will probably never trust a dentist again in my life. If it wasn't for these fillings I would have no pain in my mouth at all.

I am also starting to wonder if the filling is so big that it is actually expanding from moisture in the air. I have noticed that I usually only have problems with teeth pain when it is going to rain and I heard that the way people with metal implants can tell when it is going to rain is because the metal expands from the moisture in the air before a storm. I remember back in high school if it was raining on the bus ride into school my teeth would hurt, but never as bad as they did yesterday. That was just unreal, I felt like I was dreaming because of the shock of that pressure in my mouth.

I'm not sure exactly what kind of pain you are describing? A few people with sensitive teeth issues to begin with notice "that" kind of pain gets worse when they start vaping. A few people have connected the problem to high PG liquids and dropping their PG content helped. That, and using their sensitive teeth toothpaste again - which we had to drag out of them that they were told to use it by their Dentist but quit doing so long before they started vaping.

Since these liquids are hygroscopic in nature the added exposure to something that draws moisture from the oral cavity can make a dry mouth problem go from bad to worse. People with a tendency for dry mouth often have a lot of dental problems including tooth pain and worse.

Only a visit to a Dentist can really assess what's going on. This is an exception problem with vaping, not the rule.

Hi I worked in dentistry for over 30 years as a R.D.A. their could be many contributions to your teeth pain. One of which could be a dryer mouth due to vaping. It also could involve your sinuses. The very best advice I can give is to go get some x-rays done on your mouth this way the dentist can tell you EXACTLY why your expirenice discomforts. And then you can address the issues. I hope this helps and best wishes.

I had problems with toothaches and sore/bleeding gums when I stopped smoking and started vaping. Increasing my water intake helped get it under control. Gargling/swishing with salt water helped too. Now, I make sure I stay hydrated and I continue to gargle nightly with salt water and the problems are gone.

From what I've read and been told by those evil pain inducing people in the dentists office... smoking and nicotine causes your veins to constrict.

Vaping appears to deliver less nicotine or at least the size of the nicotine molecules are larger and not absorbed as efficiently as from smoking tobacco.

Could be you are experiencing increased blood flow in your mouth and dental areas as a result of quitting smoking and that has riled up the nerves in your teeth... It's a possible side effect of quitting. Give it some time and if it doesn't go away... maybe a trip to the dentist is in order.

I hate suggesting that to anyone other than people I hate... Dentists and especially oral hygienists are just evil and enjoy inflicting pain on others. If I hear the words... your gums bleed easily... why do I have to point out that when sharp pointy objects are stuck into my tissue anywhere on my body... I'm gonna bleed!!! Those people paid thousands of dollars for medical school and not a one of them learned that simple fact!!! Sorry about the tangent... did I mention I hate dentists..?

I hate dentists more than you could imagine. They are mostly to blame for the massive filling I have in my mouth. As I mentioned in an earlier post on this thread, I had no pain before they started playing around with my teeth, and it has been a nightmare ever since.

I think that is what I will do, just wait it out and see if my body gets used to the difference from quitting smoking. I figured that may be the cause, just increased blood flow from not smoking or maybe the smoke was just numbing the pain away and now my body is in a kind of shock from not being numb anymore. Maybe the pain will subside when the nerves in my teeth start getting used to the new me
