owutaqt Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schizophretard Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I have never heard of this before but smoke stains your teeth and lungs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdDog Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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.

Ofortuna Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffb Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popsicle Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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 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.

Christopher Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miatafrank Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 That's funny, my dentist is happy I quit smoking and started vaping, and tells me to keep doing good things for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiksilverPR Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I haven't hear anything about e-cig making people teeth yellow. I might be something else. Maybe something she eating regularly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagSol Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owutaqt Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 Yeah I think she is crazy too! But, everyone has to make their own choices, just wish she was better informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uma Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeRo9k Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StOmPeR Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 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 **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salliezoo Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B80 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 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 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah because they've taken all the antifreeze out of it to put it into our e-juice! salliezoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
