Posts for tag: E-CIGS Oral Health
Use of electronic cigarettes (EC) has been increasing rapidly during the past several years, but little information is available regarding the association between EC use and oral health. A recent study was conducted to assess the relationship between EC use and self-reported oral symptoms among adolescents. Take a look at the findings:
- Increased gingival pain, bleeding, or both
- Increased tongue pain, inside cheek pain, or both
- Increased a cracked or broken tooth
The authors have concluded that EC use among adolescents appear to the rsk factors for tongue pain, inside-cheek pain, or cracked or both teeth. This recent study may be the first indication that EC use is not without concern.
