Blogger left with black teeth from £17.2k, nine-year vaping habit
A Welsh blogger experienced significant dental damage, including blackened front teeth, after a nine-year vaping habit costing £17.2k.Summary
Stacey Gardiner, a 41-year-old blogger from Swansea, Wales, developed severe dental problems, specifically blackened front teeth, as a result of vaping for nine years. She began vaping in 2017, initially using electric vapes before switching to disposable ones, consuming up to five vapes per week and spending approximately £120 per month. She first noticed a black mark on her tooth in 2021, which progressively worsened. A dentist attributed the damage to vaping. Unable to access timely NHS dental care, Stacey opted for £200 clip-in veneers to restore her smile. She quit vaping six months ago, realizing it was a habit rather than a nicotine addiction, and now aims to raise awareness about the potential dental risks of vaping, particularly among young people, as she believes the dangers to teeth are not widely recognized.
