Anshumali Srivastava · Answer

you can not help much about that if you don't quit the habit. anything will work only after the removal of the cause. prepare for that else you will lose money and health at the same time. scaling /polishing, bleaching  can provide you temporary relief since habit is there. first concentrate on that .

Arunima Chandra · Answer

Hello, you are a smoker so its obvious even after scaling the stains will again develop because of smoking and even other food and beverages like tea coffee develop stains. So you have to quit smoking, brush twice, rinse after your meals and beverages, get scaling and polishing done once in a year.
Thanks

First should quit the habit and maintain oral health according to dentist advice here is home remedy for brighter teeth--- mix several teaspoons of baking soda with enough fresh lemon juice (or water) to make a paste. Wipe your teeth and any extra saliva off of them with a paper towel. Put a good amount of paste onto your toothbrush and apply. Leave the paste on for 1 minute, then rinse, so as to avoid the acid effecting enamel. If you are using just water you can leave it on for up to 3 minutes. For faster result you can go for teeth bleaching from dentist. Crunchy food and vegetables such as apples and carrots rub away stubborn stains. The flesh of the pear helps neutralize the acid in your mouth that causes decay. Strawberries, particularly when ripe, have a high concentration of malic acid, which can be used as a natural exfoliant to clean the surface of the teeth. Plus, they contain vitamin c, which is necessary for keeping your gums healthy. Cucumbers are a good source of fiber for gums and helps remove sugar and chemical debris from the teeth. Sugarless gum has xylitol, which is known to reduce tooth decay. Cheese after dinner as it contains casein, a protein in milk that has been shown to reduce the loss of tooth enamel. You can take the inside of a banana peel and gently massage your teeth in a circular motion for a surface-level cleanse. C) use snowdent tooth paste for whitening until then. Apply snowdent paste on the teeth. Wait for 10 to 15 min .then brush your teeth with the same paste. Applying it overnight for better results.

Hi Lybrate-user, This is quite obvious that ill ask you to quit your smoking as it will not only stain but will harm your overall health. It can be a bit difficult for you to quit as whole but reduce your frequency to as minimum as you can.
