Smoking stains and effects on teeth
As an adult smoker, you might be aware of a problem known as “smoker’s teeth”. Perhaps you’ve even already experienced yellowing teeth as a result of smoking cigarettes. Smoking stains on teeth can occur when teeth are exposed to the thousands of chemicals produced by cigarette smoke. Coloured compounds found in the smoke can cause tooth discolouration when they get attached to the surface or penetrate the hard dental tissues.
What is smoker’s teeth?
When cigarettes burn, this act of combustion causes the chemicals within to discolour. Over time, exposure to these coloured chemicals may be responsible for the yellowing effect, otherwise known as smoker’s teeth.
You might be wondering just how long it takes to see signs of smoking’s effects on teeth. The answer is not so clear as it varies from person to person and depends on the number of cigarettes and the frequency with which someone smokes. The time it takes for an adult smoker to experience smoker’s teeth or a similar oral ailment will therefore vary.
What are the alternatives to continued smoking?
