Dentists can detect signs of vaping which is the act of inhaling and exhaling aerosol, often containing nicotine and other chemicals, produced by an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) or similar device.
Evidence indicates that vaping can have adverse impacts on oral health, including gum disease, tooth decay, and oral cancer. Dentists play a crucial role in identifying these potential issues, advising patients on the risks associated with vaping, and recommending appropriate preventive measures or cessation strategies.
