Why Does My Mouth Burn When I Use a Nicotine Pouch?
If you’re new to using a nicotine pouch or have recently entered the world of nicotine, you might experience a burning sensation or tingle in your gum or upper lip and gum where you pop a pouch. This is a common experience for nicotine pouch users, and understanding why it happens can help you manage it and enjoy your nicotine experience.
The burning sensation from nicotine pouches is primarily due to several factors:
Nicotine Strength and Concentration
Nicotine pouches contain nicotine, unsurprisingly, and other ingredients. The higher the nicotine content, or nicotine concentration, in a nicotine pouch, the more likely it is to cause a burning. If you use nicotine pouches with a high nicotine content, especially when you’re new to using them, the tissues in the mouth can react with a strong burning sensation. Think of it like a mild irritation from the potent nicotine hit.
pH Level and Nicotine Salts
The ph level of the pouches made by different brand of nicotine pouches, including popular options like zyn, is formulated for optimal nicotine absorption. This slightly alkaline environment, combined with the presence of nicotine salts, can contribute to the tingling sensation or burn your gums as the nicotine release occurs.
Flavourings and Other Ingredients
Nicotine and flavourings, particularly mint and other cooling agents, can intensify the sensation of nicotine. What might feel like a refreshing tingle to some can feel like an intense burn to others, especially those with sensitive gums or sensitive teeth and gums.
Your Body's Adjustment To Using Nicotine Pouches
When placing a pouch in your mouth for the nicotine pouches for the first time, your oral tissues are not yet accustomed to the oral nicotine. This can make them more susceptible to cause irritation and a burning sensation. As you continue to use nicotine pouches, you may develop some nicotine tolerance, and the burn might lessen.
Gum Sensitivity and Oral Health
Individuals with pre-existing gum irritation, gum disease, or other oral health issues may find nicotine pouches more likely to cause a burning. It’s important to maintain good oral health and address any underlying gum problems.
Is the Nicotine Pouch Burn a Sign of Damage?
A mild burning sensation is often a normal part of the nicotine experience with oral nicotine pouches. However, an intense burn that persists or is accompanied by significant gum irritation, bleeding, or other unusual symptoms could indicate a problem. It’s crucial to differentiate between the expected tingle and a sign that you should avoid nicotine pouch use. If you're unsure, consult a medial professional.
How to Manage the Burning Sensation In Your Mouth
-
Start Low
If you’re new to using nicotine pouches, begin with a pouch with a lower nicotine strength.
-
Consider Flavour
Some flavours are less likely to cause a burning than others.
-
Rotate Placement
Keep the pouch in different areas of your upper lip and gum to give sensitive spots a break between pouches and allow your gums recover.
-
Don't Keep It Too Long
Remove the pouch in your mouth once the flavour and nicotine release have subsided
-
Stay Hydrated
Dry mouth can exacerbate irritation. Make sure you drink enough water, before and after using a pouch.
-
Listen to Your Body
If the burning sensation is too intense or prolonged, consider switching to a pouch with a lower nicotine content or discontinuing use altogether.
While a mild burning sensation is common with nicotine pouches, especially those with a higher nicotine content, a severe burn is not supposed to occur. Understanding why it happens and how to manage it can lead to a more comfortable nicotine experience. If you have concerns about oral health or experience significant discomfort, it’s always best to seek professional medical advice. Remember that nicotine is addictive, just like other nicotine products and tobacco products.
