From a layman, I'm quite religious in cleaning, flossing etc etc, but no matter how hard I try I always end up with a slow but gradual build up of tartar, stained from coffee and smoke. Apart from the obvious solution, is there a way to remove these stains and whiten the teeth. Even after visiting the dentist for a scale and polish there are still areas which have light brown stains! Also are there any products which really do help keep these stains at bay. This may sound all a bit vain but once the stains start to reappear I become very consious of them Thanks Rob Cowle

This may sound all a bit vain but once the > stains start to reappear I become very consious of them Ask your dentist about bleaching. It may be appropriate for you if the stains are not too dark. I have severely discolored teeth due to taking Tetracycline as a child. My dentist told me bleaching wouldn't help in my case, so I eventually had bonding done on 6 upper teeth. I got estimates from several dentists ranging from $40/tooth to $180/tooth! Since insurance doesn't cover this I chose the $40/tooth dentist. I am thrilled with the results. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mary Ryan Space Telescope Science Institute Baltimore, Maryland mryan@stsci.edu
