Smoking strongly contributes to deposits, discolouration and gum disease. Vaping may not leave exactly the same deposits as smoke, but it can be associated with dryness, irritation and other risks to oral health.
Why does toothpaste not solve the whole problem?
It may remove some surface deposits, but it does not neutralise the risk of periodontal disease or cancer, or nicotine's effect on healing. The most important step is to reduce and stop use.
When should the mouth be checked?
- a persistent sore or white patch,
- bleeding gums,
- loose teeth,
- pain or numbness,
- a change lasting longer than two weeks.
Do not try to mask symptoms with V34. A colour corrector works only optically.
See Elixio toothpaste for surface deposits.
FAQ
Does an e-cigarette not stain teeth?
It may affect the mouth differently from smoke, but it is not neutral for oral health.
Will whitening solve the problem?
It does not remove health risks and requires assessment of the teeth and gums.
