As is known to all, consumption of tobacco will stain your teeth and make them appear yellow. Worse, such stains cannot be removed by day-to-day brushing, and you have to seek in-office procedures. In mild cases, a professional cleaning would be enough to fix the problem, while severe cases may require a laser bleaching procedure. 

    Dental cleaning can be of two types — one for general dental care and one for smokers specifically. The latter combines ultrasonic cleaning with sandblasting, so as to get rid of both tobacco stains and tiny calculus. Be honest with your dentist on whether you smoke or not, then he can suggest a right procedure for you. The two procedures will certainly cost differently. But both of them are quite affordable, costing about several hundred yuan. 

    Without a satisfactory result after a professional cleaning, you can further seek laser bleaching to whiten your teeth. In general, the procedure can be finished within about half an hour, about to produce an instant whitening effect. There are different choices available which vary widely in price, roughly from one to three thousand. Whitening kits including home-use products may cost more. You’d better choose the right one in line with your personal case. 

    No doubt, professional cleaning and laser bleaching serve to remove tobacco stains and re-whiten your teeth again. However, there’s still something needing attention. You’d better quit smoking after the dental whitening procedure. Otherwise, your teeth may suffer from stains soon.
