How E-cigarettes Affect Our Teeth
People who use e-cigarettes are surprised to notice poor oral health since the device does not produce smoke. However, e-cigarettes are yet to be fully studied so there is no proof they are medically safe.
Here’s more:
– E-cigarettes contain nicotine that harms the tongue, teeth and gums.
– Nicotine reduces the amount of blood flowing through your veins, resulting in gum recession.
– Nicotine masks gum disease symptoms, which can result in serious diseases like diabetes.
– Smoking e-cigarettes also causes bad odour.
Minimise smoking and see the dentist regularly for assessment.
