Does vaping stain teeth?

[scoops]

Hi, my dentist says vaping can stain teeth, but it depends on many factors ie. what product etc. I get my liquid from onepoundliquid, some of which has colouring. Don’t know if that is more likely to stain but I don’t like coloured liquid anyway, wish they didn’t bother.
What are your thoughts? Thanks

yes it can but didnt happen for the first 3 years. i now notice it but only front ones for me but im getting through around 40-50ml a day.
a good electric tooth brush does clean them though.

Quite the reverse for me compared to smoking . . . . my dentist hardly ever has to clean my teeth now and the mild staining I do get, comes from the epic amount of coffee ( decaff ) that I guzzle during the course of the day.

I don't vape many eliquids that contain colouring however, occasionally Red Astaire or Heisenberg are about the only two that come to mind. And those I can go months for, between using.

Oh yeah it’s nothing compared to smoking! I had ridiculous stains from that.

I might shoot Liquid an email asking if they do colourless liquid, or if they can say which ones are coloured.

I would say smoking stains your teeth without question.
In my experience vaping doesn't stain your teeth any worse than tea or coffee or chocolate or any number of things, no matter what flavour or colouring is included and it a lot less harmful than smoking

I got a surprising reply from Liquid. First they say their liquids are either clear or gold-coloured - strange because I’ve had liquid from them that’s been yellow, bright red, almost black etc. Then they say they don’t use any colouring, so I’m wondering how the liquid ends up being sometimes clear and sometimes gold (plus in my experience different colours).

I think this is probably a mix of the nicotine and some of the flavours used, scoops.

As Beedee says Scoops . . . . plus it could also depend on how freshly made the eliquid is, over time nicotine will oxidise which will also affect the overall colour.

Yeah they followed up: “some LiQuids change from clear to not clear depending on how they are stored and time since creation”

I vape Red Astaire as my adv and get way less than when I smoked, my dentist doesn't nag my any more, well not about smoking stains anyway

I saw a hygienist today, and she wanted to know how much I vaped, what flavours, whether I had coloured liquid or not, and nicotine content! Advised me to only vape as much as I used to smoke, go for colourless liquid, and reminded me about the popcorn lung thing. It was surreal, to say the least.

Just change dentists. I haven't heard so much bahookey in years.

It was a new hygienist, seems to be new staff every time I visit. I’ll see what happens next time I see the dentist.
