how do i make my teeth whiter?

Question

i used to smoke but my teeth look as if i still smoke, how do i make them whiter?

Answer 1

Original Crest whitening is my personal favorite as far as toothpastes go, but keep in mind toothpaste can only do so much. If you want really white teeth, professional trays are the way to go with a kit from your dental professional. I used to whiten teeth for a living and my favorite way to whiten is with a carbomide peroxide solution that a patient sleeps in overnight for around a week. As long as a patient has no crowns or fillings in the front and they aren't sensitive I usually prescribe a 20% formula, and Ultradent's brand from the Opalescence line of formulas are my faves. Laser whitening and other methods I am still skeptical about (though I have done them on patients) but the week-long program gets great results and don't ruin or remove any of the natural enamel on teeth. Whitening toothpastes use micro abrasives and small amounts of peroxide and will remove certain "surface stains" but can't touch the older stains embedded in the tubules of dental enamel sadly...I am (unfortunately) a heavy smoker myself and use a regimen of professional whitening with custom trays and carbomide peroxide and whitening toothpaste to make sure my teeth don't restain, with a one night touch up procedure every year and my tetth (thankfully) are sparkly white and nobody notices I smoke.

Good luck with your pursuit of a whiter smile! :)

Answer 2

If you want to kill your gums and poison your self then listen to all of the above.. drink bleach pour chemicals all over them, brush them with a harsh metal brush untill your teeth are all worn away, Buy cheap remedies from the supermarket which aren't strong enough to do any real work.

But if you want real results without burning yourself with bleach and dying of intoxication, go to a Dentist get them professionally whitened and make sure you stay away from the original cause of the staining because its no point bleaching your teeth if you're just going to dirty them again.

The other alternative is to get porcelain veneers/ crowns to cover your teeth but that is super expensive so you better sell your barbie mansion

Use arm and hammer toothpaste called Advanced white. My mom is a smoker and her teeth look SO much whiter after she started using it.

Brush your teeth with baking soda. There's also a mouthwash that's aimed at smokers called Targon but I'm not sure how effective it is. http://www.targon.net You can always try out the Crest Whitening strips.
