I love the fact that I don't have to fight the stains like I did when I was smoking. Vape on....
so vaping is ok to do while wearing dentures? i just got both top and bottom today so i had to ask
As far as I know it is OK. I just know that it never crossed my mind as to whether I should or shouldn't.
Have you checked out the http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussion/298835-older-folks-vaping.html thread?
It's a very long thread...I can't imagine the subject not coming up at least once...

Ok I admit it, I wear Dentures and I've had absolutely no problem whatsoever while Vapeing, with my teeth in or out.
Vape On!
Just remember Vapeing while driving and going over a bump can be hazardous to your teeth, real or not....lol

How long ya been vaping?
The reason I ask is that my dentist and dental tech are very impressed with my teeth (natural) and gums health improvements after two years vaping! My last cleaning (month ago) was the quickest ever.
If you've been smoking for any considerable length of time, then I'm day-um near certain that vaping will only improve your oral health.
Several folk have cautioned 'bout vaping after a tooth extraction in fear of a 'dry socket'. Don't know, in that I've yet to endure either since vaping.
Crash Moses, been on that thread since it's creation. This is da first denture reference I've noticed in da ECF.
Good luck to da OP!
ETA: Oh, BTW, I'm 66 years young...

I would say you should have no issues.
I don't have dentures myself, but with the exception of 7 teeth in the front (bottom), all of mine are crowns/bridges.
In fact, a month after I stopped the cigarettes, my 7 real teeth were almost as nice as my crowns!

This cracked me up but good, thank you Talyon, I needed a good laugh!
The reason why you shouldn't "smoke" with dentures is because smoking cigarettes can leave a film of tar on any oral dentures and stain them. This is the same with your natural teeth and gums, smoking can stain them both. Vaping doesn't stain anything so you can vape with dentures on with no problem in my opinion. I was a dental assistant, so I know a little bit about these sorts of things.
You should still clean your dentures regularly because of any food or drink that can discolor your dentures though, so just keep that in mind.
The thing about "dry socket" is completely different. After a tooth extraction, you basically have a sensitive hole in your mouth that needs to heal. Sucking on anything, whether it be from a straw, cigarette or an e-cig creates a vacuum in your mouth and can irritate the part in your mouth that is trying to heal. It'll basically suck out the scab in your mouth and damage it. If you do, the blood that was in the hole that's trying to heal might be removed and you'll end up with "dry socket" which is a hole with no blood for it to heal. What you have is basically a wound with bone and nerves right where the blood is supposed to be so even things like breathing in air could be very painful.
Don't vape after a tooth extraction. And IF you REALLY need to vape, take an EXTREMELY slow drag. Don't quote me on that since there's a chance that dry socket could still occur. I'm just putting it out there. Also avoid overly hot and cold foods/drinks.

I've been part of the older folks thread from the get go and come to think of it this subject has never come up.
I haven't had any issue with my dentures and been vaping for a little over a year now.
You will be fine as long as they are not immediate dentures...if they are immediates I would wait until sutures are gone.
Speaking of the dry socket thing, I was a smoker when I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted.
The morning after, first thing I did was light one up.
Kinda hurt, but the chemical addiction hurt more.
They all healed up very nicely.
The listerine and rinse after each cig probably helped, though I don't advise sucking on anything if you have an extraction.
