He said that the teeth of this special patient were covered with yellow/brown stains, which were caused by nicotine and tar in disposable Vape.

This is a smoker's stain, which covers the top layer of the teeth with yellow/brown staining

Then, the video shows how dentists clean their teeth to restore their healthy white state.

Although using disposable Vape has better health benefits compared to cigarettes, they still pose significant health risks, which dentists may discover during examinations.

People gave their reactions to TikTok in the comments, and one of them said, "Sigh, pull on the cola elf

The second added, "I sit here smoking like you

At the same time, one-third of people said, 'What do I need to do to complete this job at my dentist? Regular cleaning has never been so intense.'

One commentator even labeled people they knew and wrote, "Brother, that's why we look so yellow

Dr. Prinja emphasized on his TikTok account that disposable Vapes can cause many problems for your teeth.

Last month, he talked about a popular misconception that smoking disposable Vapes (such as elf bars) is the same as inhaling 'seasoned air'.

He explained, "Smoking in Geek and Elf bars is different from smoking in the air - that's how it affects your mouth

They contain 2% nicotine salt, equivalent to 20 milligrams of nicotine, so they are very addictive.

It is quickly absorbed, and a single e-cigarette is equivalent to 48 to 50 cigarettes, which means a higher risk of gum disease or even tooth loss.

This liquid also contains plant glycerol, which can make your teeth stick more to cavities, causing bacteria to form such holes

However, Dr. Prinja not only discusses disposable Vape on his channel, but also explains many other issues, such as how to prevent the spread of lip herpes and how to save teeth when they fall out.
