Stop Smoking

The easiest way to avoid bad dental hygiene is to stop smoking. Smoking causes more damage to your oral health than any other factor. Many people try vaping as a way to stop smoking and it can be very successful. However, when using the wrong, or cheap, vaping tips can cause severe damage to your teeth. Most vaping tips and cells are made from plastic and when chewing on them, this can cause the enamel of your teeth to become weaker. It’s a bit like chewing on the end of a pen, your teeth are stronger than plastic, but it’s not what our teeth are meant to be used for! Simply changing the cartridge ccell to an enamel tip can make all the difference. By making sure you are cutting down on smoking with the right tools, you can drastically improve your smile!
