Oral health and vaping

[Chef Pete]

Could anyone give me any information about vaping and its affect on one's oral health. I tend to vape sweeter juices and am wondering if this would increase the chance of cavaties and/or gum disease.

Nope. The sweeter juices are usually sweetened with Ethyl Maltiol or Sucralose, both don't cause cavities. PG and VG won't either.

 

[Chef Pete]

Thanks for your fast reply Zamazam! I suspected such was the case.

My hygienist says she is seeing problems with vapers. The ingredients themselves won't cause a problem but dry mouth can.

Drink alot of water.

Drinking more water because of the drier mouth has positive health benefits too. I live in Western Australia where it gets bloody hot and used to have a bad habit of getting to the headache point of dehydration before I thought to drink some water - not a problem this summer with the vape making my mouth drier. It can be a positive thing if you let it.

I find that vaping dries out my nose and sinuses too. I've been using a saline solution in the morning and it helps quite a bit.

For me it's the opposite, I've experienced clearer sinuses and better breathing through some times of the year when my allergies usually get out of whack.

I also use Biotene.

Biotene helps me a lot with the dry mouth. It is also a big help with the vapor's tongue problem.
