\nsmoking cigarettes can cause a variety of oral health problems \u2013 including oral
\ncancer, periodontal disease, and substantially stained teeth \u2013 not much is yet
\nknown about how e-cigs impact a person\u2019s smile. At Smile by Design<\/a> in Virginia Beach, VA<\/a>,
\nour doctors are happy to share valuable oral health information with our

\nThough research is still ongoing regarding how e-cigs <\/b>affect oral health, there are a
\nfew things that medical studies have been able to tell us so far. One of these
\nfactors involves the manner in which vaping dehydrates the mouth. A dry mouth
\nis an excellent environment for bacterial imbalance and the development of periodontal
\ndisease. Patients who experience chronic dry mouth \u2013 whether it is caused by
\nusing electronic cigarettes <\/b>or not \u2013
\nshould contact our office for a consultation to determine the underlying issue,
\nas well as to seek treatment. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nOther concerns regarding e-cigs and oral health <\/b>revolve around the ingredients used to
\ncreate the liquid, or \u201cjuice,\u201d these products use to deliver nicotine. More
\nresearch is needed to determine how these ingredients, including propylene
\nglycol and the flavorings used, impact the teeth and soft tissues of the gums,
\ncheek lining, and tongue. <\/div>\n
