DENTISTRY Q: Are E-Cigarettes bad for your teeth and gums? Dr. Laura Schwindt . Yes, E-Cigarettes are equally damaging to your gums and teeth as regular cigarettes The latest studio done at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry suggests that when the vapors of the e-cigarette are burned it causes the cells in the mouth to release inflammatory proteins. These inflammatory proteins cause cell damage. Damaged cells can then lead to many varieties of oral disease. Certain flavorings added to the cigarettes made the degree of damage to the cells even worse. Division WELCOME!!
