Does Weed stain teeth? Is it bad for your gums like Cigarettes? ALSO, HOW OFTEN SHOULD I BRUSH GUMS?

Question

I smoke weed about once a week. maybe twice. not from a pipe but from a bong.

does weed stain your teeth? ive noticed that recently. but it could be from drinking tea too.

also, is it bad for your gums? i obviously know cigs is bad for your teeth but is weed?

FINALLY, I HEARD GENTLY BRUSHING OR "MASSAGING" THE GUMS IS GOOD FOR THEM. HOW OFTEN SHOULD THIS BE DONE? OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE MUCH MORE SENSITIVE THAN TEETH SO I WOULD ASSUME NOT AS MUCH AS BRUSHING TEETH.

PERHAPS TWICE A WEEK? MORE? LESS?



THANKS!!!

Answer 1

Yes. I think weed stains your teeth more than cigarettes. And you should massage your gums and floss daily.

Answer 2

No i dont think weed stains your teeth. Ciggarettes for sure do but weed doesnt. If you brush your teeth everyday then you have nothing to worry about. Drinking Tea might stain your teeth though but Its not from smoking weed!! Just floss your teeth daily,that will be good for your gums!! But have fun smoking weed...lol 420!!

Answer 3

yes, it does stain your teeth, but so does coffee, tea, soda (colas and brown sodas) and some foods
it is bad for your gums, teeth, tongue, and would be worse for you than ciggarrettes, if you were to smoke the same quantity. however nobody smokes as much pot as those who smoke tobacco, so the risks are actually less if you're smoking pot (but the 'bad stuff' is still concentrated in the pot smoke)

use a soft brissled tooth brush and massage your gums at the same time as you brush your teeth. massage them in a downward (or toward the teeth) motion to prevent erosion

Answer 4

smoking one joint is equal to the amount of tar found in one pack (20 cigarettes!). It does stain teeth...along with burning brain cells. as for your gums, you should brush your teeth, gums and tongue as least twice daily. flossing properly is also recommended.
