Woman left with two black front teeth from £17.2k and nine-year vaping habit
Summary
Stacey Gardiner, a 41-year-old blogger from Swansea, says her nine-year vaping habit, costing £17,200, has left her with two discolored front teeth. She began vaping in 2017, quickly transitioning to disposable vapes, consuming up to five per week at a cost of around £120 per month. She first noticed a black mark on her tooth in 2021, which has since spread. A dentist suggested the damage was likely due to vaping. Facing a lengthy wait for NHS dental care, Stacey used clip-in veneers costing £200 to restore her smile. She has now ordered veneers for her bottom teeth as well. Stacey wants to warn young people about the potential dangers of vaping, emphasizing the lack of awareness surrounding its impact on dental health. While the NHS acknowledges vaping carries fewer risks than smoking, they also highlight the lack of regulation and unknown ingredients in vape products, advising consumers to purchase from reputable suppliers.
