What to do if your teeth become black due to smoking

Smoking is extremely harmful to human health, but the country has also issued clear orders prohibiting the general public from quitting smoking. As a result, there are still many old smokers in our lives. These old smokers may have a history of smoking for several decades, which can be observed from their mouths. Long-term smoking will make their teeth become yellow and black. So what should you do if your teeth become black due to smoking?

1. According to research, teeth can metabolize at a temperature of 35 to 36.5 degrees, so brushing your teeth with water at this temperature can effectively maintain your health; brushing your teeth with cold water for a long time will shorten the life of your teeth by more than ten years. So it is recommended that you use a hot brush and warm water to brush your teeth. 2. Teeth bleaching, the effect is not very good. Many toothpastes now advertise whitening effects, but they are actually just commercial advertisements.

2: Secret recipe for whitening teeth 1. Smoked teeth. People who smoke for a long time often have teeth that are smoked and yellowed, and some even have black teeth. In addition to smoking, other colored foods and medicines, such as coffee, strong tea, betel nut, colored Chinese herbal drinks, etc., can cause similar symptoms. If discolored teeth appear, ultrasonic teeth cleaning can be very effective. 2. Discolored teeth. After undergoing the "tooth nerve extraction" operation, the teeth will gradually turn gray-brown after 2 years. For this kind of teeth, the same treatment method as smoked teeth cannot be used. Hydrogen peroxide must be used for internal tooth bleaching, and acid-etched composite resin veneers or porcelain repairs can also be used to reduce the degree of tooth discoloration. 3. Dental fluorosis. Dental fluorosis, commonly known as yellow teeth, is a phenomenon in which the enamel is incompletely calcified due to excessive fluoride content in drinking water. The surface of the teeth is chalky and dull, and in severe cases, there are plaques. Due to pigmentation on the tooth surface, the tooth body appears yellow-brown or even black patches, so the tooth surface is easily worn, but the resistance to acid corrosion is enhanced. If there is no defect on the surface of the tooth, it can be treated with simple bleaching method. For fluorosis teeth with substantial defects, acid-etched composite resin is used for restoration. If the tooth shape is defective, porcelain veneer can be used for treatment. 4. Brushing your teeth frequently can also reduce the chance of tooth discoloration. The best number and time for brushing your teeth is three times a day, three minutes after a meal, and three minutes each time. 5. Some people brush their teeth with salt regularly, which is also a good way to protect their teeth.

I personally suggest you to have your teeth cleaned. It is now recommended to have your teeth cleaned every six months. To be honest, I also advocate teeth cleaning, which can remove tea stains and smoke stains on teeth. Moreover, after teeth cleaning, dental diseases such as gingivitis and bleeding gums will mostly be cured or improved. After having your teeth cleaned, the tartar is removed and the sensitivity of the teeth increases, so some people will have sour teeth if they eat too cold or too hot food for the next few days. This also varies from person to person. It is best to go to a regular hospital for teeth cleaning, because dental treatment is invasive and requires very strict disinfection, otherwise it is easy to cross-infect (such as hepatitis B, AIDS) and other blood-borne diseases. Although regular hospitals charge a bit more, the disinfection is reassuring. And there is a formal invoice as the basis for consumption
