Teeth discolouration due to vaping

[Anne (fuzzy)]

I use it once a day, the before bed clean. I just dip my dry toothbrush head into the dry powder and scrape a bit up, too much and it will fall off anyway. One 'dip' is enough to clean all your teeth, top and bottom, front and back. Just remember to rinse your mouth out well before moving on to the toothpaste, any fluoride toothpaste will do. That's something else my dentist told me, cheap toothpaste, expensive toothpaste, they all work the same. The only difference is the price!

My teeth aren't white, they're a natural pearly colour. I don't use the bicarb. for whitening. I use it to remove the horrible tooth decaying plaque. I haven't had any fillings at all *touchwood* since I started using it nearly 4 years ago.

Forgot to add:

Don't scrub your teeth hard with the bicarb., just very lightly only just touching the tooth surface. I have an electric toothbrush, so I just let the brush do most of the work, moving it around in a gentle circular motion.

Well the discolouration due to rollups was prettty bad , so I figure vaping can't be any worse than rollups.

The point is what causes the 'yellowing' ?
Is it the nicotine , if so then your statements would be consistent.

Only been vaping 2 weeks as well - so I can't tell the impact yet - still need to get my teeth whitenened at dentist from the smoking !

[Emphasis mine]
Nicotine is colourless. It is the tar in tobacco that causes the colouring on teeth and fingers. Even though is is often referred to as "nicotine stains".
The flavourings added my well have the effect of staining the teeth though of course whether they do or not will vary from flavour to flavour and manufacturer to manufacturer.

Lol thanks for getting back to me then Fuzzy

I just wanted to check so I didn't overdoes on it, is it possible to use to much if you also use a toothwhitening toothpaste ?

I don't know if it is as effective as using pure bi-carb powder but there are bi-carbonate of soda based toothpastes on the market. I believe Arm and Hammer have one.

I have found personally, that in the few days I have been vaping, the discolouration of my teeth has decreased and the discolouration of my fingers is almost completely gone already


I have been using Clinomyn smokers toothpaste for several years now. This thread has caused me to wonder whether I should change to a different brand when my current tube runs out...

This is interesting..

I've been vaping for 6 weeks now and like last week I was at the hospital and they said had I had my teeth done cos they were so white

Just proves what roll ups (like about 70 a day) can do to your teeth

Agree, I was on roll ups as well, and my teeth are already a little better, but I do drink black Tea no sugar though, oh and red wine, and those two are not the best for your teeth
But I am using the above method now of bi carb soda to clean and try and tidy them up a bit more

[vereybowring]

Most of my staining comes from tea and coffee but some did come from rollups.
My teeth are slightly better now after turning to vaping.

For all those worried about staining on their teeth I used eucryl toothpowder for many years which whitens the teeth since it contains a mild abrasive.
The stuff has been around for ages, I've used it since I were a lad.

[monster74]

Eucryl is excellent stuff. I thought giving up smoking but I still have badly discoloured teeth, I think it's all the tea, coffee n wine I consume.

Falsies do have certain advantages.

My teeth lost much of their enamel when I couldn't get a dentist for years (disadvantage of the Highlands) so are covered with glass fibre material which certainly makes things easier.

Thank you very much to those who mentioned eucryl ... just had an Amazon order of it arrive and it's great!

Oral B Pro Expert tooth gel is also really good for whiter teeth

There's nothing in eliquid that would cause yellowing of the teeth, i'd look elsewhere for the cause.

Not a problem for me, I pop em in the glass at night with 1 of them big fizzy tablets and they come out looking like new in the morning.

completely the opposite for me.
i went to the dentist 5-6 wks ago and its the first time i havn`t had a full scale and polish
but i still use eucroyl smokers tooth powder

Eucryl smokers tooth powder will take the enamel off your gibbs better than a flap wheel sander.
