Curious, e-liquid is made from PG (propylene glycol) or VG (vegetable glycerin) do either of these contribute to tooth decay?

Thanks for responding.
Just don't want to trade one problem for another.
About oil - I saw something yesterday that mentioned putting oil in the cleartomizer and thought that didn't sound like a very good idea.

Pg is one of the liquids used in oral rinses for dry mouth, so I seriously doubt it. And vg is vegetable glycerine. There have been a number of threads about mouth problems arising not so much from vaping, but from quitting cigarettes.
What kind of mouth problems arise from quitting cigs?
Thought that was all good?!?!
The cat is hilarious, I'm a dog person, might have to find a vaping pup.

You'll have to search for the threads. It has something to do with the theory that elements in cigarettes, other than nicotine, caused people with preexisting dental problems not to feel them as much. When they quit smoking they started feeling pain they hadn't before.
Does that mean that PG is actually good for dry mouth. I would love that. May go PG 100%
It's the second ingredient in Biotene after water and it is also used in drops for dry eye syndrome.
ETA: For dry mouth Biotene is brilliant stuff. I don't think vaping pg would be helpful in relieving dry mouth, since vaping itself is dehydrating.

If you go 100% PG say hello to a massive TH and bye bye to a non existant vape cloud LoL. I've only heard of 100% VG ejuices.
They're around. While less common than pg sensitivity, some people don't tolerate vg well.
I mean you could carry a lot of flavor with 100% PG. Maybe ill try that out. I will soon have a mixing lab.
The bottle I have is by "Liberty Liquid." I don't know if it's sold online, I got it from the local vape shop.
Had my latest dental check on Tuesday. My dentist informed me that my gums were very healthy (didn't mention my teeth so i assume they're ok ). I have angina which would normally mean that i would have poor gums.
I've also noticed after being 9 months cig free and vaping high VG juices that my tooth sensitivity has reduced.
I have found no documented evidence that vaping is good for oral hygene but i know that it works for me !

Re: 100% PG Juice
I was told by the folks at Awesome Vapor (my local B&M) that some of their e-liquids are 100%PG. They don't list ratios on their website, so a phone call would be in order.

My dentist said no. In fact, vaping is much better for your oral health than smoking.
I'm a dentist and pg and vg are bacteriostatic - they will not cause tooth decay - poor hygiene will
Well trust the dentist! But- I've seen PG on the label of mouthwash, toothpaste etc. It's also in asthma inhalers. VG is in sore throat medications amongst many other things.
My original dentist was thrilled that I stopped smoking and started vaping. My hygienist hates that I vape. My new dentist (old one left) isn't keen but thinks its better than smoking.
Oral hygiene problems can be seen more after you quit smoking as (I'm told- as the dentist!) that gum problems like gums bleeding are because the blood vessels are coming back therefore there's more blood. Seriously though, I don't think its to do with vaping. It's all to do with smoking, poor oral hygiene and the causal link between the two.x

It is a mixed bag, nicotine molecules are absorbed into your enamel and do cause tooth decay, however with proper oral hygene, it is not an issue. And yes, that same nicotine does reduce blood flow to your gums. IIRC there are other chemicals in analogs that cause way more issues than just the pg/vg/nic/flavorings.
