Question:
\nI\u00a0have all porcelain crowns<\/a> on my upper teeth–the front five have slightly stained some–maybe due to my smoking–what can\u00a0I do?? Will Supersmile toothpaste<\/a> help or is it too abrasive for porcelain? Help.

Cindy,
\nSupersmile toothpaste was made for this situation – for the maintenance of cosmetic dental work<\/a>. It is the most gentle toothpaste out there. It removes stains with its enzyme, calprox, that gently dissolves the protein pellicle that the tooth stains<\/a> attach to. So I would start with trying Supersmile.<\/p>\n

Whether the Supersmile will be strong enough to remove your stains that have been there for a long time, I can’t say for sure. If that doesn’t work, then I would go to\u00a0one of our Virginia cosmetic dentists<\/a>\u00a0and see if they can polish the porcelain crowns, which should eliminate any stains. Don’t go to your family dentist for this. This is a specialized procedure and you need an expert cosmetic dentist<\/a> for this.<\/p>\n

We have a page devoted to tobacco stains on teeth<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n

Good luck,
\n– Dr. Hall<\/p>\n
