Vaping also exposes the mouth to harmful chemicals such as propylene glycol and flavorings. These chemicals can lead to irritation of the mouth and throat, dry mouth, sore throat, and inflammation. Severe inflammation in the mouth can increase the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, cavities, and oral cancer.

The act of inhaling and exhaling the vapor can cause damage to the delicate tissues in the mouth resulting in mouth irritation and oral lesions.

Although vaping is frequently promoted as a safer option than smoking tobacco cigarettes, both can lead to oral health issues. It is important to be aware of these factors and maintain good oral habits to protect your oral health.

This may include keeping up with brushing, flossing and regular checkups with your dentist.
