\"e-cigarette\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Everyone knows the dangers and risks of smoking traditional\ncigarettes. Endless studies have proved that this habit stains teeth and\nincreases the likelihood of periodontal diseases and even oral cancer. But what\nabout vaping? Advertised and touted to be much safer than smoking cigarettes, vaping\nis becoming more and more popular and common among people of ages, including\nteenagers. Although researcher are still trying to fully understand the impact\nof vaping, there are some strong indications already that it can harm your oral\nhealth. In this blog post from your family\ndentist in Goodlettsville<\/a>, you\u2019ll learn five ways that this habit can\naffect your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

More Bacteria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most oral problems stem from harmful bacteria in the mouth. These\ninclude gum disease and tooth decay, to name just a couple. In a 2018 study, participants\nwho vaped had significantly more bacterial growth in their mouths, particularly\nbetween teeth and around the gum line, than those who didn\u2019t vape. This habit\nonly allows bacteria to have more freedom to cause damaging, potentially\npainful issues down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a common ingredient in e-cigarette liquids, propylene\nglycol is known to cause dryness in the mouth, which at first glance may not\nseem serious. However, a dry mouth provides the ideal breeding ground for the\nbacteria that cause bad breath, mouth sores, and other unpleasant outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inflammation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So far, a couple of studies suggest that vaping can trigger inflammation\nin the gums, which is a main symptom of gum disease, and irritation in the\nmouth and throat. As a result, your gums can become tender, swollen, and red in\nappearance and bleed easily when you brush or floss your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cell Death<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The aerosols in vaping can damage DNA in oral cells, which\nmakes it much more difficult to divide and grow. Eventually, it may lead to accelerated\ncell aging and premature cell death. As a result, you can suffer bone loss,\ntooth loss, tooth decay, or gum disease. In one study, vaping with menthol proved\nto be particularly damaging to oral cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discoloration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The nicotine in cigarettes has long been proven to cause\nbrown stains on teeth. Vaping with e-juices containing nicotine likely also\ncauses unsightly discoloration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although e-cigarettes may not be as dangerous to your health\nas traditional cigarettes, they can still impair your oral health and have\nlasting effects. If you do choose to vape, just as if you were to choose to\nsmoke, avoid juices with nicotine and drink water after you vape. At minimum,\nbe sure to maintain healthy oral habits like brushing and flossing daily and\nvisiting your dentist in Goodlettsville twice per year for checkups\nand cleanings<\/a>. That way, you can lessen the impact that this habit can have\non your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
