I smoke and drink A LOT of tea.?!
Question: I smoke and drink A LOT of tea..?
I brush twice a day, but my teeth are still quite yellow and have tea and nicotine stains.
I was wondering, what the best toothpaste to use would be.?
I've just purchased some toothpaste called 'pearl drops smokers', it says on there it removes stains. Is this good enough.?Health Question & Answer

As far as the tea goes, that works the same as coffee in staining your teeth. If you drink it through a straw, that will save your front teeth from staining and help to not ruin any progress you will make (the stars use this straw trick). For getting rid of the stains, it depends if you want to do it yourself or not. For doing it yourself, an electric toothbrush like that new Sonicare would be a good bet. All the toothpastes make so many claims, it's hard to say which one would work best for you personally. I personally like Crest Pro Health.
To really do something about the stains, you're probably going to have to let a dentist do it. They can give you a whitening tray (put some gel in basically a retainer each night and let it work) or do some other treatments. Doing something yourself is only going to have limited results, or it will take longer than going through a dentist. It all comes down to how much you care about this, and how quickly you would like this resolved.
Oh, and use the straw trick for pop and coffee if you drink those too.Health Question & Answer

I worked with in a clinic and the dentist said that pearldrops are bad - many people came in with damage to teeth from it!
Anything that has the BDA (British Dental Assoication) recommendation is considered good, as is anything with Baking Soda, such as Arm & Hammer, is considered good for stain removal. At least that's what the dentist said. .
Don't forget to use mouthwash too in the evening.

I smoke and drink a lot of tea also.
Apart from having clean up at dentist I use Arm & Hammer toothpaste as it DOES removes the staining and also use a mouthwash morning and night.
It also helps with coating on tongue, give it a few weeks but you will see a big improvement.Health Question & Answer

You smoke tea.?.? Dude...that's not cool.
If I were you I'd use a toothpase like that but it's not the greatest for your tooth enamel so just go to the Dentist every 6 months or so and get a scale and polish, or go to the Hygenist-they will do a thorough job.
It's costs a bit more than toothpaste but is totally worth it. Health Question & Answer
