Regardless of what they\u2019re called, they\u2019re not good for your health<strong>\u2014or your smile<\/strong>.\n<h3><strong>A New Twist In The Same Ol\u2019 Story<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe oral health risks associated with traditional cigarette smoking are widely understood and accepted:\n<ul><li>Smoking increases periodontal disease risk by 7 times<\/li><li>People who smoke are twice as likely to lose teeth<\/li><li>Smokers increase their oral cancer risk by 5 to 10 times<\/li><\/ul><h4>Technology DOESN\u2019T Change Everything<\/h4>\nE-cigarettes are being marketed as a cleaner, healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes. And while it\u2019s true that a couple of unsavory side effects aren\u2019t present (like smoke and stained fingers) e-cigs still pose health risks to your teeth and body.\n<h4>E-Cigs Still Contain Nicotine<\/h4><strong>Nicotine is a \u201cvasoconstrictor\u201d that restricts blood flow<\/strong>, inhibiting our mouth\u2019s natural cleaning and disease-fighting functions. Nicotine also reduces our body\u2019s ability to heal and create new healthy tissues and cells. E-cigs contain vaporized nicotine, derived from tobacco. And when a person uses nicotine, gum disease is more likely to thrive.\n\nE-cigs can also contain MANY other chemical substances. France\u2019s National Consumer\u2019s Institute recently conducted a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/20130826-electronic-cigarettes-carcinogenic-french-report\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>study<\/strong><\/a> that found 3 out of 10 e-cigs <strong>contain hazardous chemicals like formaldehyde and diethylene glycol<\/strong>.\n<h3><strong>Learn More About E-Cigarettes:<\/strong><\/h3><h3><strong>The Takeaway Message&#8230;<\/strong><\/h3><ol><li>If you\u2019re a smoker trying to quit, e-cigarettes <em>may<\/em> be a transitional help.<\/li><li>If you don\u2019t smoke, don\u2019t get lured in by this trend. Signing up for a nicotine addiction is dangerous\u2014in any form.<\/li><li><strong>If you\u2019re a parent<\/strong>, share this post with your children. Since e-cigs are not technically tobacco, in many states children can purchase them and the companies that sell them are marketing to teenagers.<\/li><\/ol><h3><strong>Let Us Know What You Think<\/strong><\/h3>\nDo you have experience with, or questions about this trend? If so, let\u2019s visit. If you\u2019re a smoker (in any form), or if someone you care about smokes, remember that it\u2019s even more important to schedule regular cleaning and checkup appointments.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<strong>REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY\u2019RE<\/strong> called, they\u2019re not good for your health\u2013or your smile...  <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lakeoconeedental.com\/blog\/the-effects-of-electronic-cigarettes-on-teeth\/\">(Read More)<\/a>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1127,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1128","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
