Remove Stains From Teeth Caused by Smoking

Everyone is born with a default set of pearly white teeth. However, as people age overtime, teeth discoloration gradually takes place due to various of reasons-- coffee, soda, tea, and smoking to name a few.  If you happen to have a smoking habit, here are five natural and oral treatments you can do to remove the nicotine stain on your teeth.

Natural remedies:

●     Baking soda

This one might be simple, but it is proven to bring amazing results. Mix half teaspoon of baking soda with half teaspoon of water and brush it gently to your teeth. You might be eager to restore your pearly teeth, but brushing really hard will not help you in any way. In fact, it can worsen your dental problem. Every other day interval is ideal within two weeks and then reduce to it once or twice a week.

●     Apple cider vinegar infused with lemon

Just like baking soda that has various uses, apple cider can also aid your teeth discoloration. Infuse two tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with ¼ lemon juice, and then dip your toothbrush in it as you brush your teeth. Make sure to rinse well afterward. Another important note, strictly limits this practice to once or twice a week as high acidity can erode your tooth enamel.

Dental treatments:

●     Laser Treatment

Once you go to your dentist in Albany IN, this is one of the options that will be given to you. During a laser treatment, your teeth will be coated with peroxide solution prior to exposing it to a strong light for about 15 minutes to an hour. Laser whitening can dramatically help in removing stains caused by smoking.

●     Chemical Whitening

Bleaching agent plays a significant role in this dental treatment. There are instances when your dentist will ask you to wear a mouth tray with bleaching gel at home. There are other times when the entire procedure will take place in the clinic. The decision on which one to do will have to fall on your dentist’s discretion.
