Teeth Question

[owutaqt]

OK, so my friend who I have converted to e cigs, comes over tonight and announces that her dentist said she cannot e smoke anymore because it is staining her teeth, he took off her temporary crown that she had put on the day she quit smoking and he found a black filmy like substance and said it was caused by smoking.

Has anyone heard of this?

I have not in all my research seen anything like that about teeth?

I have never heard of this before but smoke stains your teeth and lungs.

Propylene Glycol is in Colgate Whitening Oxygen Bubbles Brisk Mint Toothpaste.

pretty sure colgate is a bit more knowledgeable

Your teeth can become stained from a variety of things such as wine, coffee, tea, soda (pop) and some fruits and vegetables. There are dyes in all kinds of process froods that can also stain teeth. I have read on another forum that people have noticed a film building up on car windows from vaping. But when cleaned it did not produce the same icky black/brown film like cigarettes. I would guess that it is left over staining from the cigarettes or food that your friend has been eating.

i will agree with anyone and add one thing...

if she was a smoker, wouldn't that build up be from the cigarettes?? especially if she has been vaping a short time.

just a thought

I've noticed that my teeth are turning whiter the longer i smoke. I don't know if its the vaping but I sure know its because my teeth aren't getting saturated with tar everyday.

Read my mind! Did she have the crown when she has smoking? I cannot fathom how vaping could cause any buildup, much less black buildup. Makes no sense whatsoever.

I very much doubt the ecig is causing her teeth to stain. My teeth have gotten MUCH whiter since I stopped smoking analogs and moved over to vaping. Add that with my twice a week peroxide mouth swish and I've got myself a congressman smile.

But really most whitening products contain PG. Nicotine may stain your teeth a little but nothing like the tar in cigarettes.

I remember what the gunk looked like when I'd clean the windows in the car when I smoked. Or the walls in my house for that matter. Since that was the same gunk I was taking into my mouth and lungs and then blowing out onto the windows and walls, I know for a fact that it was on my teeth also. I've been vaping for almost a year now and I no longer have that gunk on the windows or walls. Stands to reason I don't have it on my teeth either. Maybe it is was something she ate instead? Or from smoking before. But I don't think it was from vaping. Just my opinion. I won't give my opinion of the dentists opinion.

Whiter for me since I started.

[Lily]

Friends mistake my teeth for pearls! Gosh, I exhale vape on the bathroom medicine chest mirror every single day. I never have to clean it, seriously, never! Well, sometimes I clean the mirror...I wish I had a congress(wo)man's smile lol! That dentist = quack, quack!

[miatafrank]

That's funny, my dentist is happy I quit smoking and started vaping, and tells me to keep doing good things for myself.

[QuiksilverPR]

I haven't hear anything about e-cig making people teeth yellow. I might be something else. Maybe something she eating regularly!

[JagSol]

My doctor and dentist are glad I quit smoking in general. So honestly, the tar is the culprit from smoking is what is bugging your friend's teeth. Probably the dentist needs to take a bit of research in order to know the benefits of vaping for teeth

[owutaqt]

Yeah I think she is crazy too!

But, everyone has to make their own choices, just wish she was better informed.

[Uma]

my teeth have lost a tint of yellow, and my fingers are actually flesh colored again!

When I exercise, some bad stuff still exhales from my lungs... but as long as it's exhaling instead of inhaling, I'm a very happy girl.

[NeRo9k]

My dentist and doctor are really happy that I quit smoking. I used to get the lecture every time I went in for a checkup.

[StOmPeR]

Sounds to me like your friends dentist doesn't approve of ecigarettes, and is purposely lying to get your friend to stop.

Remember there's alot of people that just don't like the idea of adults walking around, sticking something in there mouth and exhaling anything that's visible. I suppose they have that point of view for various reasons. This is probably the uptight, brainwashed, sheeple. That also want to keep marijuana illegal, even though alcohol is the worst drug known to man, as far as deaths go, and that's legal.

So yeah, tell your friend, his or her dentist is full of ****

[salliezoo]

My dental hygenist was amazed by how white my teeth are looking. She was so impressed, she actually went to get the dentist (who was with another patient, no less) and had me show him my ecigs. They did mention that nicotine does still does affect your gums somewhat, and no nicotine was the ideal. However, he felt that the amount of nicotine was so much less with ecigs that the improvement from analogs would be significant. And the absence of tars and other carcinogens was a huge step in the right direction. He was so enthusiastic about it...he asked if I would send him some cards from various suppliers, so he could recommend them to his patients who smoke!

So,I think that naysayer dentist...needs to find out a lot more about ecigs before he starts giving out that kind of advice. What a jerk.

[B80]

It really sounds to me like the dentist was only half listening and only heard "smoking" and probably has no idea what an e-cigarette is. He probably just thought it was a type of analog. Maybe your friend could provide him with some printouts and information. The more professional advocates we can get, the better!

[Jkimbo]

I noticed my car has been running a little more rougher since I started vaping ecigs, wonder if the ecigs has some thing to do with that?

Well yeah because they've taken all the antifreeze out of it to put it into our e-juice!
