How bad is vaping for teeth?
Reminds me of an article I read about dental health and vaping recently. Basically they said how bad it would be for your gums and teeth It would make the teeth softer because of vape being held in the mouth and then dentists would see rampant decay among their vaping patients. They gave an example of a person who vaped but also drank energy drinks. First of all, most vapers do not hold the vape in their mouth. They blow it out. Also, smart vapers drink lots of water, so the teeth get rinsed off. Secondly the average vaper vapes anywhere from 3-10 mls. of vape a day. Some do vape more, but no where near the number of mls. in an energy drink. Which is worse to have our teeth coated in? 10 mls of vape or 355 mls, the amount in a 12 oz. can of a sugary drink? The dose makes the poison! I also haven't heard of many vapers around here suddenly getting lots of decayed teeth and most report that their gums are better since they started vaping.
