Okay, so, I had to get a filling the other day. No big deal, right? But then I started wondering about vaping afterward. I mean, I’m not a heavy vaper, but I do enjoy it occasionally. So, I hit up the internet to find some answers, but most of the stuff I found was all about regular cigarettes.
I did find some stuff saying that e-cigarettes might seem safer, but they still have chemicals like propylene glycol and formaldehyde. The thing is, I wasn’t sure if that applied to my situation right after a filling. My teeth and gums felt pretty sensitive, like after a super intense cleaning.
Here’s what I did:
- Waited it out: I decided to play it safe and just waited for a couple of days before vaping again. Figured it was better to let everything heal up properly.
- Rinsed: After I ate, I rinsed my mouth with water, just to make sure there was no food or anything stuck around the filling.
- Started slow: When I did start vaping again, I took it really easy. Just a couple of puffs to see how it felt.
Luckily, everything turned out fine. No pain, no irritation, nothing. I guess the key is just to be cautious and listen to your body. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t do it. It’s always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to your health, you know?
My takeaway
Don’t rush into vaping right after a filling. Give your mouth some time to heal, and when you do start again, take it slow. Better safe than sorry!
