  My dad too. Good oral hygiene Drink water Eat crunchy food (apples, carrots, pears, celery, etc.) Don't smoke! Teeth whitening products Use a straw Dental veneers? See your dentist! --------------------------------------… The first and foremost requirement for getting rid of tooth stains is good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth at least twice a day. In case your teeth are stained badly, then brushing them after every meal is suggested. Teeth whitening products serve as a surefire way of removing stubborn stains. While many toothpastes claim to have whitening "agent" as their key ingredient, it is better to go for a real teeth whitening product, such as strips and peroxide solutions. Using baking soda makes up a natural teeth whitening method. Soak your toothbrush in cool water, dip the tips of its surface in baking soda and then brush your teeth with it. After a few days, you will find fewer stains on your teeth. To get rid of the salty taste, brush your teeth once again, this time with paste and not the baking soda. You may add a few drops of lemon juice on the surface of the toothbrush and brush your teeth with it. Though a slow process, this is a sure-shot natural remedy for stained teeth. To get rid of stubborn tooth discoloration, caused by nicotine, brush your teeth with a paste, formed by mixing baking soda and peroxide solution. Make use of an electric toothbrush, for best results. Regular use of mouthwash is suggested, if you have tooth stains, because it is considered to be one of the best ways to get rid of the problem. It not only banishes bad breath, but also helps the teeth remain stain-free. Avoid eating sticky food. In case you can't help stop eating such food items, make sure that you floss your mouth immediately after their consumption. Floss your mouth with clear water, after you eat or drink anything. This lessens the formation of plaque, which is a major contributor towards tooth stains. Drink water after every meal. You may also consume it a few minutes after drinking tea, coffee, sugary drinks and soda. Sugarless gums are also considered as effective as water. Chew gum right after drinking tea, coffee, sugary drinks and soda. Inculcate the habit of eating crunchy foods, like celery, apples, pears and carrot. After breaking into smaller pieces, these food stuff rub against your teeth, thereby discarding the tiny pieces of leftover food that you have already eaten. You should reduce the consumption of sugary drinks and soda. This is because the content of such aerated drinks leads to quick discoloration of teeth. Visit your dentist, for a dental check up, after every six months. Increase the frequency of your visit, in case your teeth are severely discolored. Extrinsic tooth stains are caused by tobacco. The consumption of nicotine, in any form, is harmful for your overall health as well as that of your teeth. Therefore, quit smoking and chewing tobacco. If quitting is not possible, at least reduce the frequency. People with such a habit should never forget to brush their teeth right after consuming tobacco or smoking, if they do not want to have dirty dark brown or black stains on their teeth. --------------------------------------… Are they yellow? Home Remedies for Yellow Teeth: There are tons of home remedies that you can use to try to whiten your teeth, although none have yet proven to be successful. Here’s a few: Rub the white part of an orange peel along your teeth. Brush your teeth with baking soda. Using a Q-Tip, dab hydrogen peroxide onto the surface of your teeth, being careful to avoid your gums or you might have irritation. Strawberry pulp is supposed to have a natural bleaching effect, and it tastes better than baking soda. Salt can be used to brush your teeth. You can also try mixing salt, baking soda and water together. But be careful, because the salt is very abrasive and could cause mouth pain and weakened enamel. Rinse your mouth with a vinegar/water solution.
