In recent years, they\u2019ve gained immensely in popularity as the online culture around vaping has spiraled into a new niche of its own. Of course, as well all already know, smoking is nothing but bad news for health. Considering smoking involves the intake of smoke directly through our mouths, a natural connection can be drawn between the smoking and oral healthcare issues. The question here is, are e-cigs\/ Vapes harmful for oral health? <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Impact of vaporizers on dental health<\/h3>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">To simply assume that vapes have no negative effect on oral health would be a mistake. Unfortunately, because it\u2019s still an emerging market\/ niche, there isn\u2019t too much factual data available to make direct statement regarding E-cigs or vapes and their relation to dental health. According to Food &amp; Drug Administration (FDA) of United States, these replacements have not been completely studied.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">When compared to cigarettes or other consumable smokes, the risk of contracting said oral health issues is immensely lower. For the most part, individuals ignore health warnings until they are directly faced with the health issue in question. It\u2019s rare that the warning sign, such as the sign on the cigarette box, would be enough to compel a person to give up smoking altogether. However, the signage may get them on track to considering alternative options such as nicotine gum, or as mentioned earlier, e-cigs\/ vaporizers.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The drops used for E-Cigs contains mixture of nicotine, distilled water, flavored add-ons and few other chemicals. Together they produce vapor instead of smoke. The quantity of nicotine, although very small, is still there. Nicotine hurts the production of saliva in your mouth that helps bacteria to grow. It also could be a major reason of tooth decay. Though E-Cigarettes or vaporizers generally don\u2019t use tobacco, you can purchase tobacco flavored vape drops. As well, diluted liquid nicotine is added\/ used as a base for the more popular vape drops. Nicotine is a drug stemming from tobacco leaves which has been studied to be a factor causing various harmful periodontal issues. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Periodontal issues caused by nicotine<\/h3>\n<p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst\" style=\"text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;\ntext-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1\"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:\nSymbol\">\u00b7<span style=\"font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><!--[endif]--><span lang=\"EN-US\">Weakening\/ recession of gums, which can lead to a fallout of your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mydesertdental.com\/dental-implants-henderson.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dental implants<\/a>.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle\" style=\"text-align:justify;text-justify:\ninter-ideograph;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1\"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:\nSymbol\">\u00b7<span style=\"font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><!--[endif]--><span lang=\"EN-US\">It hides out the symptoms of gum diseases, which is really harmful.
