Went to the dentist today

[Scoper50]

Just for my bi annual cleaning. It was the first time I've been to the dentist since i ditched the cigarettes in January.

I didn't tell her i quit. But within the first 10 seconds of the examination, she asked if i quit smoking. She says my gums and mouth tissue look wonderful.

She asked me how i did it, and i told her i did it with ecigs. She didn't know much about them. Shed just seen the ads on billboards and on tv. She was very pleased.

I also spent probably 15 fewer minutes in the chair which would normally have been used to scrape tobacco stains off. All is good

Good for you I had a similar experience last time I went.

Grats on dentist!

I'm a dentist and love to convert my smokers to vapers - I consistently see similar results - congrats to you!!!

Grats on dentist!

Yeah, thats my dog. Awhile back I bought a new oven, and he wanted to play with the cardboard box it came in. So we did.

Scoper, how long ago did you start vaping? Just curious.

My dental health hasn't been better since I was 18 (48 years ago).

My dental tech and the dentist noticed a remarkable improvement at my first post-'bakky cleaning. After two years, I spend more time in da waiting room than in da 'chair'!

I started in December 2012, but didn't quit the cigarettes until January

Every time I look in the mirror I notice how much whiter my teeth have become. I love that.

Thanks for sharing this.
Congrats too.

Another great thing about it is i didn't get the smoking lecture i always get from the dentist. They would always talk to me like i didn't know smoking was bad for my oral health.

my dentist showed me an xray of my bone loss due to my smoking. he told me eventually i will lose most of my teeth if i continued to smoke. It freaked me out and that was the time i decided to man up and quit. its been 6 months now and since then he doesnt sugar coat the bad news to smokers and bluntly tells them they will lose their teeth if they continue to smoke.

Similar results were at my first post-ecig cleaning.

I told my dentist I switched to vaping and I thought he was gonna hug me!

That's awesome. My dental hygienist noticed too and when I brought up my PV she said her husband is using one as well and was at the three week mark. First other vaper I heard of away from our local B&M.
