[Closed] my dentist warned me vaping could mess up my smile, but I didn't think much of it until yesterday.

Totally agree, dry mouth can sneak up on you. I've dealt with it myself and found sipping water regularly helps a ton. Sugar-free gum is great too—keeps the saliva flowing naturally and helps avoid that uncomfortable dryness.

Dry mouth is definitely something to keep an eye on, especially if you're vaping regularly. I've noticed similar issues myself, and my dentist explained that saliva helps neutralize acids and protect enamel from decay. Besides water and gum, you might consider using a moisturizing mouthwash specifically designed for dry mouth—it's gentle and can really help maintain oral comfort. Small adjustments like these can make a noticeable difference over time...worth giving it a shot.

Good call on the moisturizing mouthwash, hadn't thought of that. But honestly, does anyone else feel like vaping dries your mouth worse than coffee? Feels like the Sahara in there sometimes...

Yeah, vaping definitely leaves my mouth feeling drier than coffee ever did. I switched to vaping thinking it'd be easier on my teeth (and wallet), but now I'm not so sure... Anyone tried sugar-free lozenges or something similar to help with dryness?

Sugar-free lozenges can help a bit, but they're more of a temporary fix. Hydration's key—sipping water regularly is honestly the simplest solution. Have you noticed if certain vape flavors make dryness worse than others?
