How to remove smoke stains from teeth?

There are many men who like to smoke, and those who are addicted to smoking may smoke two packs of cigarettes a day. This is not only harmful to your health, but may also cause a lot of smoke stains to accumulate on your teeth. When teeth turn yellow, it not only affects the appearance, but also affects the physical and mental health. In fact, smoke stains can be removed. The key lies in daily care. Here are some good ways to remove smoke stains.

Method 1: Whitening with tooth powder. Tooth powder can whiten teeth in a short time. Tooth powder is alkaline and there will be a slightly astringent feeling after use (this is normal). The most obvious characteristic of unqualified or deteriorated tooth powder is that the powder particles contained in it are relatively large. Using such tooth powder will cause damage to the gums. Therefore, when choosing tooth powder, you must be cautious and choose authoritative brands and tooth powder products with anti-counterfeiting marks! Tooth powder contains more natural minerals and mainly exists in powder form. The color and taste of tooth powder are different depending on the formula. When buying tooth powder, you can choose your favorite color and taste. Note: If you use too much tooth powder to brush your teeth at one time, you will spend too much time brushing your teeth and the astringent taste in your mouth will be stronger. Use tooth powder in moderation.

Method 2: Active tooth bleaching. Use a personal teeth whitening tray, put in 10% carbonate hydrogen peroxide, and put it firmly on the teeth. As the effect of the drug increases, the color of the teeth will gradually fade and whiten. This method is easy to operate and you can decide the number of teeth to be bleached, the number of times to be bleached and the length of each bleaching. However, the treatment course is relatively long, about 2 weeks, to achieve the whitening effect that most patients want. In addition, the drug itself is somewhat harmful to teeth and soft tissues, so it is best to do it under the guidance of a dentist.

Method 3: Laser teeth whitening. Using a higher concentration of bleach (H2O2) and using special substances to enhance the bleaching effect of hydrogen peroxide, the organic pigments in the teeth are bleached to a hydrophilic, pigment-free structure, achieving a safe whitening effect. A treatment lasts 3 hours and can achieve the effect of whitening teeth in a short time. Although hydrogen peroxide can whiten teeth, it is harmful to the teeth themselves and the soft tissues around them. The discomfort of teeth and soft tissues after whitening will return to normal in about a week.

Method 4: Ultrasonic teeth cleaning. Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is mainly aimed at eradicating dental calculus. Dental calculus can easily cause the accumulation of dental plaque, leading to gingivitis and periodontal disease. During the treatment, the calculus on the tooth neck and adjacent surfaces is removed, and the teeth will also appear whiter. Thick stains can also be mostly removed by ultrasonic cleaning. However, staining is difficult to eradicate where there are pits, grooves, or adjacent surfaces on the teeth.

Of course, apart from the factor of frequent smoking, there are many other reasons for the formation of smoke stains. For example, the water quality in some areas is very poor and the water contains a large amount of fluoride. If you drink this kind of water frequently, smoke stains will form on your teeth, and the teeth will become particularly yellow. Secondly, smoke-stained teeth can also form during the development of teeth due to malnutrition or certain dental diseases.
