Vaping and Your Smile
What you should know about how vaping impacts your teeth and gums — and how we can help, without judgment.
A Modern Habit with Dental Risks
Vaping is often seen as a safer alternative to smoking, but research shows it can still affect your mouth. If you vape and are worried about your teeth or gums, you’re not alone. We’ve seen it all — and we’re here to help, never judge.
How Vaping Affects Oral Health
- Dry Mouth: Vape aerosols can reduce saliva, making cavities more likely.
- Gum Inflammation: Nicotine and other chemicals may irritate gum tissue.
- Increased Bacteria: Studies show vaping may raise harmful oral bacteria levels.
- Tooth Staining: Nicotine in vape liquids can still discolor teeth.
- Potential Long-Term Effects: Research is ongoing, but early findings suggest increased risks of gum disease and enamel erosion.
