NOT REALLY
No more or less than breathing in eucalyptus essential oils. According to a recent study. There is no direct link between vaping and gum disease, plaque, or cavities. People who have regularly been vaping and have been vaping for many years do not appear to have a higher instance of teeth problems than people who have never vaped.
BETTER THAN SMOKING

NICOTINE VAPE IS JUST AS SAFE
As for Nicotine, Depending on the sources, nicotine either has no direct effect on your oral health, or it is ravaging your gums. The fact is if you are studying taking nicotine directly or just smoking cigarettes, there is no connection to gum disease. Even people who chew nicotine gum as to regular gum.

IS VAPE CAUSING MY GUMS TO RECEDE?
You may be questioning if vape does cause your gums to recede, as some reports have indicated. And the answer is: In a way, but the problem is dehydration.
VAPE IS HOT
The thing to remember is that vape is hot, and it’s not water. While vape is great for your sinuses, but it will also leave you with a dry nose, mouth, and throat. This is why vapers must hydrate by drinking more water and fruit juice to make up for the loss of moisture that comes from vaping.
DOSE DEHYDRATION CAUSES GUM RECESSION
So fail to hydrate while vaping; your mouth will become dry. Saliva is an essential part of your mouth, It is continually whooshing around your gums and teeth, acting a disinfectant. Therefore, the less the saliva you have in your moth, the unhealthier your teeth and gums will be. So don’t let yourself get dehydrated, by frequently vaping without water, your gums might recede.
DOES VAPE JUICE LEAVE A RESIDUE ON MY TEETH?
Yes. Vape does leave some residue inside your mouth, like anything else you eat or inhale. But it’s mostly broken down by saliva reasonably quickly, and any leftover doesn’t have a noticeable effect on the health of your teeth, whether you vape and brush or not.
YES, BUT DRINK A GLASS OF WATER
As we just discussed, vape doesn’t actually leave any known harmful particles on your teeth that will develop into plaque. So it should be safe to vape right there in bed before turning off the light.
However, vape does dry your mouth out, and you need plenty of salivae when you sleep to keep your gums healthy. So make sure to take a few sips of your bedtime glass of water if you vape after brushing.
