What harm can vaping do to your teeth? Four major risks

Today, let’s take a look at the potential harms of e-cigarettes from the perspective of oral health and teeth.

An overseas paper titled "Inflammatory and Premature Senescence Responses in Oral Epithelial Cells & Periodontal Fibroblasts Induced by Electronic Cigarettes and Flavorings" used experimental data to demonstrate the periodontal harm caused by e-cigarettes.

What harm can e-cigarettes do to your teeth? Four major risks!

Conclusion 1
 
Ingredients in e-cigarettes increased protein carbonylation and pro-inflammatory responses in two types of cells. Oxidative stress induced by e-cigarettes introduces carbonyl groups into protein side chains, and flavorings cause varying degrees of protein oxidation.

Conclusion 2
 
E-cigarettes increase inflammatory responses and DNA damage in human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPdLFs).

Conclusion 3
 
Human gingival epithelial cells (HGEPp) exposed to e-cigarettes showed enhanced inflammatory responses and DNA damage.

Conclusion 4
 
When an in vitro 3D gingival tissue model was exposed to e-cigarettes, inflammatory responses and DNA damage increased.

In short: smoking is associated with tooth loss, increased periodontal attachment loss, deeper periodontal pockets, destruction of connective tissue and matrix, and even alveolar bone loss, all of which increase the risk of periodontitis.
