Yellow and stained teeth
Hi there, I have yellow teeth and stains on the inner walls as a result of excessive smoking. I was wondering if this can be treated by a regular dentist or do I need to go to someone in specific.

Hello, stains could be because of deposits on teeth surface or food lodged or habits like smoking in between teeth. Visit a dentist and get your scaling and polishing done. Brush your teeth twice daily, you can use any good sensitive toothpaste. Night brushing is very important. Floss regularly. Rinse after every meal. Visit dentist every 6 months.

Hello sir. The scaling and polishing can be done by a regular dentist. But, if you are looking to whiten your teeth, you need to visit a aesthetic or a cosmetic dentist.
