Yes, vaping dries out your mouth, and lack of saliva is a major cause of rapid tooth decay. Having thyroid issues makes me pay extra attention to metabolic and oral health, so I highly recommend getting regular dental checkups if you vape. Don't ignore dry mouth symptoms.
These modern habits like vaping are very harmful to your health and teeth. The heat damages the natural environment of your mouth, leading to cavities and bad breath. While rinsing with warm salt water can help soothe your gums, you must stop these habits and see a doctor.
At the dental hospital where I get my checkups, the doctors clearly state that vaping significantly increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. The chemical residue creates a breeding ground for bacteria. You should consult a qualified dentist to assess your oral health.
Vaping definitely ruins your teeth because the heat and chemicals reduce saliva flow, which normally protects your enamel. If you cannot quit immediately, at least drink plenty of water to keep your mouth hydrated and brush thoroughly. But honestly, stopping is the only real way to protect your smile.

I used to vape heavily and ended up with three cavities within a year because of how dry my mouth stayed. The aerosols contain chemicals and sugars that stick to your teeth. Since I quit vaping and got my teeth filled, my oral health has improved drastically.
