One of the most common questions after implant surgery is, "Isn't vaping okay?" After surgery, everyone wants to minimize discomfort and recover quickly. However, you should know that e-cigarettes can be just as harmful to oral health as regular cigarettes.

After an incision, the implant site is stitched closed and needs to heal steadily without bacterial infection. However, when you vape, the chemicals and heat interfere with blood circulation in the gums and incision site, becoming a major cause of increased inflammation. In the end, e-cigarettes are no different from regular cigarettes.
