What is the best way to remove tobacco stains off the teeth??


Question: Though I have stopped smoking now, the stains on the teeth wont go. Going to dentist is an expensive affair. Any one can help with home remedies? Thank you.
Answers: A mix of baking soda and peroxide works well. Make it into a thick paste, brush twice a day in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly. Not recommended for prolonged use can cause more abrasion than regular toothpaste because it is more granular than toothpaste.
Having a cleaning by a professional even once a year or once in a while, in your case, would do the best job and be best for your health. Smokers are much more prone to Oral Cancer and Oral Cancer is now #6 on the list of leading cancers. (It would also give you a better start at removing the tobacco stains and being able to keep it off)
Also you would be heading off any other dental problems that may crop up before they turn into root canals or extractions.
There's specific toothpastes that are for that sort of thing. I've also heard that rubbing strawberries on your teeth whitens them... not sure if it'll work for tobacco stains but you can try. Congrats on quitting though, that's great :)
Dental bleaching.
Colgate Simply White Night (est. $15)

If you're too busy to spend part of your day waiting for tooth whiteners to work, whitening while you sleep may sound appealing. Colgate Simply White Night is a brush-on whitener that The Wall Street Journal calls one of the easiest to use. Because it's a brush-on formula, it's easier to get in between uneven teeth where a strip might not reach. The gel is absorbed, so there's no need to rinse. Colgate also uses 6% peroxide -- the maximum allowable for over-the-counter tooth whiteners.
well you can try crest white strips. only $50 for 14 days! ooooorrrrrrrrr you can get baking soda and water and brush your teeth after every meal.
use Deprodent toothpaste if it is available in your area
I was going to say stop the habit of tobacco. You cleared yourself of it.

Try the cheapest whitening toothpaste and work your way up. Look for dental rinses that claim to whiten your teeth.

Some gum either by Dentyne or Trident advertises they can help whiten teeth. Look at front check out counter.

Buy a new toothbrush fore sure!
There are products on the market, go to a pharmacy near you ask the people who work there to introduce to you some of them.

Read the instructions on the label and use the product that appeals to your common senses.
